Fierce Finesse with Jonathan Savage

Palm Beach designer Jonathan Savage puts his design philosophy in writing

12

“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.
