A spread in the book shows a New York City penthouse designed by Rafael de Cardenas and completed in 2013 alongside a bedroom in the Cote d'Azur vacation home of fashion designer Pierre Cardin. The two-story apartment in New York by de Cardenas combines restraint and minimalism to allow specific elements stand out, like a mesmerizing hand-painted ceiling and carefully selected furniture. The Pierre Cardin bedroom, on the other hand, was designed between 1975 and 1989 by avant-garde Hungarian architect Antti Lovag and embodies the architect's retro-futuristic designs with the circular bed, swooping apertures into the room, and bold and playful colors.
