KEN FULK: THE MOVIE IN MY MIND

There is a definite cinematic quality to designer Ken Fulk's work, whether it's the lushly decadent appointments of a restaurant in Florida, a luxurious hotel-esque apartment building in New York or multiple sumptuous private residences around the world. He freely admits his designs are heavily influenced by Hollywood, calling himself a "cinematographer of clients' lives" and describing projects as "movies". And, just like the cinema, this book transports and inspires readers to a realm of glamour and possibility. Ken Fulk, Assouline, $195
