Tihany: Iconic Hotel and Restaurant Interiors

We just received an advance copy of a book that we designed, Tihany: Iconic Hotel and Restaurant Interiors. The book is about the work of Adam Tihany who is known around the globe for creating unique, luxury interior design for hotels and restaurants. His outstanding contribution to the world of design has been recognized with numerous honors and awards. The book is published by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc. The book will be released on March 18th.

Introduction for the book is written by Thomas Keller, one of America's most famous chefs, restaurateurs, and cookbook writers.

"Widely regarded as one of the world’s preeminent hospitality designers and an early pioneer of the restaurant design profession, Adam D. Tihany shares his fascinating story and most spectacular projects in TIHANY: Iconic Hotel and Restaurant Interiors. His fluid, profoundly diverse design vocabulary has for decades affected change and influenced the global luxury market, one that has embraced his complex mix of sophistication, provocation, and pampering. His original and impeccably executed work has influenced a generation of designers and captured the imaginations of countless diners and guests, making Tihany the undisputed master of the art of hospitality design."

100 Illustrators

I'm extremely honored to be chosen by 

Steve Heller and Julius Wiedemann as one 

of the one hundred most significant illustrators 

in their new book 100 Illustrators, 

published by Taschen.

"Culled from our Illustration Now! series is this selection of today’s most successful and important illustrators from around the globe. 
In his introduction, Steven Heller fleshes out the challenging process of narrowing down a field of 600 illustrators to a selection of the 100 most significant. 
The final cut, including artists such as Istvan Banyai, Gary Baseman, Seymour Chwast, Paul Davis, 
Brad Holland, Mirko Ilić, Anita Kunz, and Christoph Niemann, provides a snapshot of the highly dynamic and diverse world of contemporary illustration."
