Art Deco meets futurism in the spaces designed by Tara Bernerd, as if Jay Gatsby time traveled to the early 2000s and decorated his modernist den. In her new book, Tara Bernerd: Place (Rizzoli), Bernerd guides enthusiasts through a visual journey with a striking representation of homes, hotels and luxury interiors across the globe.
Contemporary is far from minimal in this space within a yacht.
Bernerd has pedigree. She worked with Phillippe Starck, contoured her training into her own aesthetic, and struck out on her own by establishing a firm in London. Bernerd’s layered approach respects curated pieces, an attention to art, and a genius approach to lighting.
Melding texture and tone while an attention to art and lighting add intrigue.
She understands how to make a place both inviting yet sophisticated with a clever assemblage of accents and treatments to warm up a room.
In this Hong Kong penthouse, a rich mix of textures, materials and treatments coalesce.
Subdued color schemes with the occasional injection of a statement shade, parlayed with a variety of materials, keep the designs from looking hackneyed.
A bathroom deviates from expected marble and white with an exquisite blend of color, pattern and materials, as seen in this space’s balance of brass and black with classic marble.
The lobby of the Four Seasons in Fort Lauderdale has the right combination of dramatic and comfortable.
Customized built-ins, “book-matched” walnut, and such opulent texture as leather and velvet direct the focus in this Central Park West apartment.
A mix of comfort and luxury define Tara Bernerd’s places as memorable, livable and secure their placement as architectural gems.
Tara Bernerd: Place is a rich compendium of luxurious spaces you can live in.
