Discover Arent & Pyke’s distinctive brand of decorative modernism through their experimental use of unique color and material pairings.

To Arent & Pyke, the objects that tell stories, the colors that call to the senses, and the materials that evoke certain moods all play a vital role in the design of a home. Known for their focus on the psychology of space, the design duo maintains that a well-designed home can enrich your life. Their masterful approach to color and materials results in optimistic, meaningful interiors high on both charm and comfort.

The softer nuanced tones of the tertiary palette, colors such as coral, nougat, and olive are used to lift the spirits in combination with arresting material pairings to evoke a nostalgic allure. Whether it’s the drama of three different types of marble or a checkerboard terrazzo floor of variegated greens, the Arent & Pyke signature style balances both color and materiality.

This book showcases their best work and addresses their design ethos through the themes of joy, color, character, spirit, and alchemy. Each of the projects featured includes paint names, fabric brands, key learnings, and insights into how these spaces were created. Generously illustrated and artfully designed, Arent & Pyke exemplifies how a thoughtfully designed space has the power to generate a sense of grounding, comfort, and freedom to create a full, joyous living experience.
