In a world increasingly defined by the fleeting and the disposable, Retrouvius stands as a beacon of sustainability, creativity, and enduring beauty in interior design. Each space transformed by the studio is imbued with a history and a character uniquely its own, and a deep respect and sensitivity for original, historic designs and materials. As interior designers and architects increasingly adopt sustainable practices to reduce their environmental footprint, Retrouvius has been discovering new life in the old and patinaed, new purpose in the centuries overlooked.
Its work is a testament to the belief that sustainability can be synonymous with sophistication, and that the past can beautifully and intelligently inform the present. This important volume is an invitation to explore the world of Retrouvius through the design studio s most significant projects. Through stunning photography and insightful texts, this book journeys into the heart of spaces that are as functional as they are artful, as timeless as they are tailored to contemporary living.
