It all begins and ends with white. White is everywhere, from sculptures and art installations to interior and furniture designs to fields of snow and mythical animals. In its countless tones - eggshell, ballerina, off-white, edelweiss, and so many more - white elicits a range of emotions, depending on the viewer, the design, the culture, the use. Brilliant: White in Design examines the spectrum of colors and talents inherent in white, exploring how it is used, and viewed, in art, design, architecture, and nature. Noted design writer Linda O'Keeffe parses the language of white and considers its strengths and, at times, its weaknesses. She shows that living with white has soothing rewards and dust-collecting drawbacks; that beige is not a four-letter word but a glamorous alternative to its more pristine counterpart; that designing with white reduces everything to pure form; and much more. In more than 250 photographs, O'Keeffe showcases work, both recent and historic, from around the world - France, Japan, Spain, England, Mexico, Canada, South Africa - and across the United States. Designers and artists include Jonathan Adler, Orlando Diaz-Azcuy, Andy Goldsworthy, Kelly Hoppen, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, Richard Meier, Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, Andr???e Putman, Robert Ryman, Philippe Starck, Kelly Wearstler, and Vicente Wolf. White always makes a statement. It is distinct, versatile, and unparalleled; it is brilliant.
