Dark Nostalgia

From Flavor Wire:
"A new tome by design correspondent Eva Hagberg, Dark Nostalgia coins a nickname for the cozy vintage trend in interiors.
Bouncing from New York to London to Portland, Hagberg presents 25 projects by the likes of Roman & Williams, Julian Schnabel, and AvroKO to illustrate how cutting-edge designers are now working on an intimate scale. The glass skyscrapers and sleek white boxes of the early 21st century have put on a few layers — mainly polished leather, velvet, reclaimed wood, and heavy metals.
The new look is keenly idealized, and by utilizing such tactile materials, which were commonplace in bygone eras, modern antiquarians evoke a time and place that feels at once familiar and mysterious."
