Rough Luxe Design: The New Love of Old

Competition: Win a Free Copy

DeTnk and daab publishers have teamed up to offer readers a unique opportunity to win one of three copies of 'Rough Luxe Design' a compelling documentation of the rough luxe design ethos that has spread throughout the design world.

Rough luxe design creates the kind of authenticity that is unscripted history in physical form. It reinvents the past by redefining luxury today. Here design rejects minimalism and extravagance and celebrates imperfection. It is the embodiment of real at a time when the unexpected and the surprising is valued higher than pristine and probable.

Design elements are washed and worn with history, reminding us of bygone times with an industrial look into the future. Fabrics are distressed over immaculate furnishings, painted walls are faded like expressionist fine art, and perfectly torn wallpaper shows the multiple years of its story.

The book 'Rough Luxe Design' features the most exclusive list of interior designers, furniture purveyors, industrial designers, and trend-setting entrepreneurs responsible for bringing “rough luxury” into the cultural consciousness. This beautifully illustrated book showcases the best examples of how the masterful staging of raw imperfection can fulfill the desire for a luxury design.

'Rough Luxe Design' is an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary design. A wonderfully crafted documentation of a point of departure in our cultural ideals for design and luxury. Not only does the book provide stunning images of interiors, it also includes interviews with designers to further explore the ethos of the movement.
