Eight Homes: Clements Design

“The mother-and-son founders of the Los Angeles firm Clements Design invite readers to wander through eight residences that embody their philosophy: that luxury should feel both intimate and effortless. From gray-blue living rooms to stone libraries accented with Persian rugs and Prouvé chairs, the textures that make a Clements home are captured in stunning detail.“ —ALTA MAGAZINE“Star-studded testimonials dot this new tome on in-demand L.A. design duo Clements Design. ‘When I have a vision for a room, they are there to fill in the blanks, to bring it all together, to make it sing,’ musician Adam Levine writes about Kathleen and Tommy Clements, the mother-son pair whose understatedly elegant work has captivated some of Hollywood’s most stylish movers and shakers. The book, edited by AD’s West Coast editor Mayer Rus, presents artful photographs of eight of the AD100 firm’s completed homes. Sans captions, the images invite the reader to take in the unspoken energy that courses through them, reflecting the dynamic worlds of the residences’ inhabitants. As the Clementses succinctly put it in the preface: ‘A home should be visceral and emotional. It should wrap you up like a blanket.’“ —ALLIE WEISS, ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST“In this book, mother-and-son team Clements Design present eight projects that exemplify the pared-back, elegant style their celebrity clients love.“ —ELLE DECOR
