Interiors of Chester Jones by Henry Russell
Regardless of style, age, or size, a home should be a place of refuge, a private space where we can feel truly comfortable, whether spending time alone or entertaining friends. Above all, it should be a place of our own making, filled with books, furniture, and cherished objects that reflect who we are. This philosophy is clearly evident in the work of Chester Jones, one of the UK’s most celebrated interior designers and decorators.
Lavishly illustrated throughout, The Interiors of Chester Jones offers a unique and fascinating insight into both Jones himself—a former architect and managing director of Colefax and Fowler—and the thinking behind the many rich, nuanced interiors he has created since founding his own firm in 1989.
The book covers every aspect of his work, from his distinctive use of art and artefacts to his respectful treatment of a building’s architectural history, and includes in-depth case studies on past projects. At the heart of this beautiful book is Jones’s belief that to be happy in one’s own surroundings, to live contentedly in a space of our own design, is to feel genuinely at home.
