The interior design of recent years stands out above all for its original use of materials.Classic building materials, such as concrete, stone and wood, are now being employed in a variety of new ways. Unusual design opportunities open up through, for example, the experimental use of concrete, proving that this essentially hard material can produce surprisingly soft forms, warm colours and a velvety touch. This illustrated volume presents an inspiring selection of over 6o designed interiors created by renowned architects.With some of the featured projects, the particular spatial impact stems from a reduction to a single monolithic piece, while with others surprising results emerge from the interplay of materials, giving rise to distinctive and dramatic spaces.

At the vanguard of fashion, design and art, Another Magazine has, over the past decade, become known for its signature fusion of fashion photography and classic portraiture: a sultry Uma Thurman, for instance, half of her face covered with a delicate butterfly mask, or Christina Ricci defiantly taking a pair of scissors to her own ponytail. Published bi-annually, each cover is instantly iconic, featuring portraits of cultural figures as they've never been seen before. Another Portrait Book includes a stellar selection of these celebrity shots - Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow among them, as well as portraits of figures from the worlds of music, literature and art, such as Gore Vidal, Bjork, Lucian Freud, Patti Smith, Marianne Faithful and Kate Moss, captured by the world's most iconoclastic photographers. Another Portrait Book is the second of a three-volume set published by the popular periodical. Following Another Fashion Book, this edition will in turn be followed by Another Art Book, to be released in the spring of 2010. This Another Books series is edited by Jefferson Hack, co-founder of the Dazed Group, which publishes Dazed & Confused, Another Magazine and Another Man.
