Author: Wiseman, DavidThis volume documents designer David Wiseman's 'Gesamtkunstwerk' in a Hong Kong apartment, comprised of screens, furnishings, lighting, wall and floor treatments. Designed in conversation with two of Monet’s 'Water Lilies' paintings held by the owner, the space weaves motifs from the Giverny gardens with ancient Chinese myths. This book traces the journey of this “total work of art”, with detailed photography and captions on the production process for each material employed.After working for two decades in the realm of handcrafted sculpture, furniture and installations, Wiseman has created a signature palette of various mediums. The unique mastery of these materials prepared Wiseman to embark on this project - the largest and most cohesive exercise of his imagination thus far. ISBN 9781947359123.
