Living in Morocco

Barbara & René Stoeltie both began their careers as artists and gallery owners. With René as photographer and Barbara as writer, they have been collaborating on interior design articles since 1984, contributing to such influential magazines as Vogue, The World of Interiors, AD, Elle, House and Garden, Country Living and House Beautiful. The editor : Angelika Taschen studied art history and German literature in Heidelberg, gaining her doctorate in 1986. Working for TASCHEN from 1987 to 2010, she has published numerous titles on art, architecture, photography, design, travel and lifestyle.

Maybe it's something in the air or the fin-de-siecle mood, but over the last few years there's been a move away from the high minimalist aesthetic of interior design towards a warmer, friendlier and more romantic style of living. And where else would this shift take firmer root than in France, land of romance and dreams. We are used to the passionate tales of that country's great writers, Hugo, Flaubert and Pagnol. Now this volume takes us inside, to reveal the wonderful domestic settings that have been developing to realise such a vision. There might be a palpable nostalgia for an older way of living that is closer to the things that matter, but it is imbued nevertheless with a truly modern take on household requirements and design. Through a winning combination of popular history, interviews with present owners, practical details and above all the stunningly atmospheric photos and text of the Stoelties, we can almost walk around in these idyllic dwellings situated in some of the most beautiful regions in France. From Provence to Picardy, the C te d'Azur to the banks of the Seine, an eye for detail and a sense of heritage conspire to produce dream houses that can become a reality.
