One of the most influential American interior designers of the twentieth century, Naomi Leff is best known as the creator of the flagship Ralph Lauren store in Manhattan. There she established the brand image, combining a distinctive architectural form with feminine grace, patrician elegance, and luxurious comfort. Those elements inform Leff's portfolio, which encompasses residential design for wealthy families and Hollywood stars, retail spaces for Giorgio Armani, private clubs and spas, and interiors for yachts and corporate jets. Drawing especially on the defined shapes, simple forms, and opulent materials of the art deco style, she produced a sense of understated luxury and timeless elegance. Twenty projects are featured, all illustrated with lush color photography and with sketches and renderings from the Leff archive, now held at the Pratt Institute in New York. Honored with every award from the interior design profession, Naomi Leff was inducted into the Design Hall of Fame in 1991 and named the Dean of Design by Architectural Digest in 2005.

I first heard about this book from another book I read which was Stan Allen's 'Practice: Architecture, Technique and Representation'. Allen is currently the dean at the school of architecture at Princeton University and he spoke very highly of this book and prompted me to purchase it and read it for myself. The book discusses the process of architecture in a unique way: by looking through art history and in particular--perspective drawing and he talks about the relationship between the ways architecture has been represented and how this can determine/limit/expand the end result.
The book is a highly academic read and learned a lot I didn't know about architecture and art history which is slightly embarrassing as a graduate from Architecture school. As an architecture student I give this book five stars but unless you have an interest in art or architecture you probably won't enjoy this book that much.
