“I believe that the classical principles of design—balance, harmony, proportion scale, repetition, and contrast—are foundational, enduring, and immutable. And I follow them always—even when I break what other people consider to be ‘the rules.’” So writes part-time Palm Beach designer Jonathan Savage in The Savage Style, the tastemaker’s first coffee table book from publisher Gibbs Smith. The new volume showcases the designer’s “contemporary design with a fresh approach” through 250 color photographs of projects all over the South. “In my view, rooms only come alive when people use them,” adds Savage, “so I’m a fan of spaces that draw people in.” The tome will be available in stores and online on August 20.
