Product Description Emmy Award winning interior designer Kerry Joyce showcases eight of his diverse projects in a beautifully produced and large format book. Quietly poetic text and gorgeous photography illustrate his mantra of creating well-being and tranquility - The Intangible. Foreword by Whitney Robinson, editor in chief of Elle Décor. Kerry Joyce is known for the refined elegance and quiet classicism that unite his varied houses and interiors, as well as his collections of textiles, furniture, and rugs. His debut book spans a fascinating career, celebrating a unique, warm design sense that seeks always to turn houses into homes - to achieve the Intangible through the creation of tranquility and balance. The book showcases homes in a surprising range of styles, from modern to traditional, urban to rustic, period restorations to entirely newly imagined houses that feel as though they are just as authentic. In addition, a charming introduction describes Joyce's unusual path to becoming a designer, with thoughtful essays on each part of his work, from houses to interiors to his products. A special view into the creative process of an influential and multi-talented designer. Joyce's work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Milieu, Traditional Home, WSJ Magazine, World of Interiors, and Veranda, amongst others.

Review "A brilliant must have tome!" - Whitney Robinson, Editor in Chief, Elle Decor . "The Intangible is overwhelmingly beautiful and pleasurable - A masterful work. His vibe, his talent is absolutely POURED into it - every page just beams! The photography is sublime and when paired with Joyce's stories (and his voice) and the textiles, it's personal and thorough; really impressive. Books like this are hard to do." - Sophie Donelson, Editor in Chief, House Beautiful "Upon reading Kerry Joyce's new book, The Intangible, he makes the convincing point that his palette of materials and colors results in something that might be called the intangible, a sense of tranquility and balance in rooms that is discernible but not tactile, experienced but not visible. In this compelling book, which reads in part like an autobiography, the reader comes away knowing how he designs, what he thinks about design, and why his loyal clients continue to commission him." - Pamela Pierce, Editor in Chief, Milieu "His interiors, unsurprisingly, boast the commensurate level of cool. Witness the perfect seafoam green bathroom in Malibu whose petite architectural shelves are covered in an array of starfish and shells (think sophisticated, not sweet); a wood paneled library in Santa Monica whose arched windows frame banana palms; and an all-white mod pad in Manhattan. And while he works in disparate styles, the mood remains minimal yet lush, beautiful yet practical. The fact that he has such a diverse range is as disarming as his impish smile. As you devour the contents of this beautiful book in your hands, one thing will become clear: while for many others design is about a signature look, for Joyce, it's a signature feel, one that puts the client first." - Whitney Robinson, Editor in Chief, Elle Décor "The beauty of Kerry's interiors are indeed Intangible. In this book, he articulates a process that is often indescribable by a designer - his innate ability to design homes that are viscerally complete. To read this book is to understand how he creates tension and restraint, energy and calmness, intellect and soul." Jill Waage, Editor in Chief, Traditional Home "Kerry Joyce is one of the world's most subtle and sophist
