Alfredo Paredes at Home

Interior designer Alfredo Paredes made his name as Ralph Lauren's creative director, designing the famous Polo Bar as well as the immersive window displays and retail spaces for the Madison Avenue flagship shop. He is renowned for his ability to extrapolate an entire theme from a single object, for example transforming the stripe of an Oxford shirt into a unique upholstery fabric perfect for the seaside, or finding inspiration for the decorative fringe of a sofa in a worn piece of leather from a ranch outfit.

In this book, Paredes takes readers on a tour of four of his homes and shares key elements of his creative process, providing access to the same tools he uses in each home to decorate rooms that appear modern while glorifying the past.
