Books Currently Classic: Jonathan Rachman Design Text by Dean Rhys-Morgan Introduction by Denise Hale Foreword by Claud Cecil Gurney Afterword by Hannah Cecil Gurney Photography by Douglas Friedman & Jose Manuel Alorda Illustrations by Marc-Antoine Coulon One of America’s top interior designers, Jonathan Rachman opens the doors to his universe in Currently Classic: Jonathan Rachman Design, written with noted interiors and fashion writer Dean Rhys-Morgan, illustrating his eclectic, vividly colorful, and markedly refined world. Born on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia and based in San Francisco, Rachman injects his prestigious projects with a wide-reaching, worldly experience. He blends inspiration from his explorations into provincial flea markets with his taste for exquisite textiles, leather goods, handicrafts, and art objects, using the finest materials from the East and the West. Each of his decors—distinguished by lively color palettes, luxurious materials, and couture-quality mindfulness— combines past and present in a timeless yet contemporary approach to interior design that is always classic. Whether outfitting a weekend home in California’s wine country, adding modern touches to a country cottage, or appointing a five-story mansion in San Francisco’s Presidio, his approach remains the same: thoughtful elegance.
