× THE NEW ANTIQUARIANS: AT HOME WITH YOUNG COLLECTORS by Michael Diaz-Griffith, with primary photography by Brian W Ferry and additional photography by Leon Foggitt (Phaidon, 2023)
New York-based curator, designer and author Michael Diaz-Griffith is pretty much the same age as the younger generation of creative collectors. No wonder, then, that this delightful work demonstrates so well how a new group of connoisseurs - 22 are featured in total, hailing from across the US and the UK - is engaging with antique pieces culturally, personally and aesthetically, and often in fresh, unexpected ways. Their idiosyncratic homes are assembled around eclectic collections of objects, and brilliantly blend the old with the new. Rising young fashion designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla’s unique apartment, which she shares with husband Aaron Singh Aujla, is a particularly gorgeous highlight.
