City, Coast & Country: Australian Interiors by Adelaide Bragg
Adelaide Bragg
City, Coast & Country: Australian Interiors by Adelaide Bragg invites readers into a private world of elegant homes shaped by a distinctly Australian aesthetic: authentic, refined and effortless.
Written by Robyn Lea and featuring her photographs alongside superb images by Lisa Cohen, the book is a curated collection of interiors by leading Australian designer Adelaide Bragg - a name synonymous with 'classic contemporary' style. Whether it's a clifftop coastal retreat, a rural homestead or an elegant city residence, every home is tailored to its owner. Adelaide's aesthetic underpins each unique space, highlighting the finest artisanal work crafted from carefully considered materials. Natural fibres, textiles and materials such as wool, linen, grass cloth, leather and wood are transformed into timeless furniture, fixtures, fittings and wall features, reflecting Adelaide's unique outlook.
Organised thematically by colour, the book's six chapters reveal the raw materials and creative influences that continue to guide Adelaide's work. Drawing inspiration from materials ubiquitous in her rural upbringing, such as dirt, straw and fine merino fibres, to create interiors that are as inviting as they are inspiring, Adelaide offers the reader a path forward in their own spaces defined by comfort and pleasure.
This is not just a book for design lovers and creative professionals; it is for anyone who appreciates that home is a haven to be enjoyed to the full. With its rich imagery and thoughtful prose, City, Coast & Country is a celebration of interiors that speak to the heart and the spirit of the Australian land.
