Patina Modern: A Guide to Designing Warm, Timeless Interiors

Named one of Elle Decor’s Best Coffee Table Books to Gift in 2022, Patina Modern by Chris Mitchell and Pilar Guzmán is a tastemaking couple's playbook for creating homes that are both beautiful and comfortable. The book offers a simple formula, mixing modern design with timeworn materials like white oak, brass, and bridle leather. It features room-by-room details of their homes, including a Brooklyn brownstone and two Hamptons ‘cottages’. Readers will learn essential lessons such as 'Decorating by Mood' and 'Borrowing from the Best', all while developing a nine-point manifesto for lighting and the use of black as an accent, among others. Patina Modern serves as an inspiring and practical design guide, showcasing how to put it all together to create your own beautiful spaces.
