Description

A house is not just a series of rooms but a curated collection of objects and belongings. From the architects who have built the spaces to the artisans and makers who have crafted the objects, this stunning book features twenty-four inspiring interiors and the people that make them exceptional.

Shannon McGrath, one of Australia's best interiors photographers, delves into her archive to reveal the details and layers that make up a room: from furniture and fittings to lighting choices, color palettes, and art curation. Grand or subtle, traditional or contemporary, each gesture is part of a house's legacy, adding layers of detail that bring it to life.

Featuring text by experienced design writer Annie Reid, Assemblage is a true celebration of the beauty of design and intentional curation, revealing that even the smallest of objects, and the way they are assembled, can make an extraordinary impact.

Critical Reviews

[A] stylish debut coffee-table book. Photographer McGrath teams up with journalist Reid to interview the artists, craftspeople, and designers behind distinctive decorations in striking Australian homes. . . . By taking a magnifying glass to individual decorative elements, McGrath and Reid offer a robust accounting of how discrete pieces work in tandem to create appealing, unified interiors. Unique and insightful, this has much to offer.-- "Publishers Weekly" (1/6/2025 12:00:00 AM)
