Anna Spiro: A Life In Pattern

A Life in Pattern is the long-awaited interior design monograph of Anna Spiro, master of the show stopping interior, and it's really beautiful.

Praised for her awe-inspiring ability to mix vibrant patterned fabrics, antique furniture, and collectible art, Anna Spiro has worked tirelessly throughout her design career to create compelling homes and spaces for her clients. This beautifully illustrated book, Anna Spiro: A Life in Pattern, is a source of inspiration for readers and admirers throughout the world of Spiro’s colourful and visually complex style.

Describing her singular design ethos, Spiro says, “I love to create rooms that spark emotion and people want to linger in. . . . spaces that are rooted in tradition, yet unique in their execution. It’s important for me to use only the highest quality so that our designs endure the test of time―quality over quantity. The end result is a curation of disparate objects brought together to create an interesting, layered, and inspiring space that de es the boundaries of dull yet respects the basic principles of classicism.”

From mood boards to finished rooms, this exploration of Spiro’s design philosophy gives readers the framework to create fiercely unique, surprising spaces that sing with individuality.

Anna Spiro is the founder of Anna Spiro Design and co-founder of Anna Spiro Textiles, interiors and textile design companies that celebrate her signature aesthetic. Her globally adored style is unapologetically maximalist and a paean to comfort, as evidenced in her collaborations with de Gournay, Anthropologie and Designer Rugs. Her devotion to the craft of working with pattern on pattern on pattern, combined with her intuitive layering of colours, objects old and new, art, books and foraged treasures, creates irrepressible spaces that sing with individuality.

 Featuring over 250 photographs, this is a sourcebook of inspiration and joy. A Life in Pattern showcases the kind of artistry that can only come from an interior designer at the height of their powers.
