S
an Francisco designer Nicole Hollis has perfected
the exquisitely crafted space, having designed
interiors for hip hospitality projects and private
residences from Marin County to the Kona Coast. Her
latest coup is not an open-plan sanctuary, or a chic pied-
à-terre, or even her own striking Pacific Heights abode.
It's a monograph of her most impressive projects to date.
In NICOLEHOLLIS: Curated Interiors the designer puts
on a masterclass, pairing her design philosophy with
projects in city, country, and coastal settings illustrative of
that creed. Combining artisanal workmanship and modern
innovation, each of these works is a composition of
timeless style and material richness, but also of reduction.
Hollis' aptitude for creating a mood to maximum effect
is a cornerstone of her work and insightfully explored
here. These environments are showcased as distinct, but
all illustrate Hollis' feel for nature, her reverence for craft
and her outright mastery of forming alliances between
elements, including furnishings, found objects and
interesting pieces. True to form, Hollis has treated this
tome with a light touch, composing it thoughtfully while
infusing it with a bold artistic spirit. In this way the book
is best considered as an extension of her aesthetic, one
of taste over trend, elegant contrasts and elevated ease.
