Review

"Drawings of stylish, artful gentlemen; romantic tablescapes; and fashion collaborations with Semaine and Stubbs & Wootton are just some of the results of all that brainstorming. And in Greco Disco, his magical universeat home and beyondcan be soaked up and enjoyed as a whole. 'Our personal space is an extension of our work, ' he says. 'Theres no boundary between this and what we make and put out into the world.'- Rebecca Decynski, Domino, October 2019.

Review Text

"Whether you know him for his product launches, cant-miss Instagram, or uniquely hilarious design advice column in the Financial Times (seriously, who knew designers were so funny?), Luke Edward Hall is one of the brightest stars of the design scene today. His first book isnt just another slough of pictures of interiors. (Not that the books featured above and below this are!) It reads more like a look into the designers own diary through a compendium of his drawings, collages, old photographs, and more. While the book does catalogue his previous collaborations and products with everyone from Liberty London to Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, it isnt really an archive of finished projects so much as hundreds of sparks that will light the designers fires for future ones." T.L., Architectural Digest, September 2019.
