A distinctively designed, beautifully photographed interior design book that showcases the incredible spaces and stories of creative desert dwellers by writer-photographer duo Molly Mandell and James Burke
From tips on cultivating the unpretentious, highly functional aesthetic environment synonymous with the desert to images evoking mindful living, the book is both a celebration of a uniquely inspiring climate, its spaces, and most memorable personalities as well as a manual for adopting elements of this lifestyle—no matter your location—through intentional design.
Desert by Design explores the spaces and stories of those who live in the desert, from Marfa, Texas, residents and writer-photographer duo Molly Mandell and James Burke.
From West Texas and Southern California to Chile, South Africa, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates and more, this comprehensive, global look at desert living offers insight into extraordinary architecture and interiors, while exploring the vibrant creative communities that have formed in these distinctive climates.
The desert—with its incomparable vistas, sounds, flora, and fauna—is a landscape filled with equal parts mystery and beauty that has always attracted artists, architects, designers, and any creative looking for inspiration and independence. Authors Mandell and Burke felt the pull of the desert themselves, moving to the artistic desert community of Marfa, Texas, and now display their impeccable eye for design and extensive connections in the design community to present a wide-ranging, nuanced view.
