Issue 3 70 www.incollect.com lex Papachristidis brings a lifetime of world travel, deep knowledge of design history and the decorative arts, a fastidious eye for detail, and his born-to-shop enthusiasm for treasure hunting to create interiors that are supremely chic, breathtakingly lovely, and at the same time, warm, comfortable, and welcoming. His latest book, The Elegant Life: Rooms That Welcome and Inspire, offers a tour through dozens of enchanting rooms showcasing his mastery of “the mix,” artfully and eloquently combining modern and classic pieces, vibrant new works of contemporary collectible design, spectacular artwork and layered landscapes of accessories. Wall-to-wall luxury is his trademark, to be sure, but each and every room is not only glamorous, but an inviting setting for socializing, another of the designer’s great talents.
