Arranging Things

Colin King, who styles spaces for major names like Roman and Williams Guild, is a master at artfully placing furniture and objects. His Rizzoli book, Arranging Things, written with Architectural Digests Sam Cochran, delves deep inside his process of composing everything from coffee tables and bookshelves to windowsill. It may also inspire readers to visually craft their own rooms. VOGUE "New Yorkbased stylist Colin King gives insights for composing objects into sophisticated vignettes, advocating for seeing well loved items with fresh eyes." House & Home Out now via Rizzoli, Arranging Things explores the magic of arranging and rearranging objects within your home, forming artistic vignettes that transcend the mundane. Above all, Colin adds that he didnt want the book to offer a series of prescriptive tips but rather serve as inspiration for the reader to experiment with creating moments of beauty that feel personal and special to them: I wanted to share my own experience in working through some of these kinds of concepts and what to pay attention to and whats worked for me in the past, he explains. It really is this trial-and-error moment that, when you arrive at it, it just feels right. Architectural Digest While many may argue that personal style cannot be taught, those with a less natural inclination could stand to pick up a trick or two from the newly released interior design book by Colin King, Arranging Things. The self-taught creative has the ability to realise enviable interiors and settings, and his collaborations include Roman and Williams, Beni Rugs, Menu, Anthropologie and West Elm. Published by Rizzoli and filled with enigmatic rooms, tabletops and environments, King's debut tome distills his recognisable approach to objects and spaces with a simple manifesto: that 'any object can be a thing of beauty'. Wallpaper* "The work of a stylist is really making art out of relationships between shapes, textures, materials, and colors in a way thats satisfying to see. In just a few years, Colin King has become a stylist who continues to surprise us with his instincts, styling minimalist yet still visually rich interiors for clients like Roman and Williams Guild, Architectural Digest, and Anthropologie. Despite working with big brands, Kings approach is remarkably accessible and sustainable, and his book is a guide to looking at your own belongings with a fresh perspective." New York Magazine/CURBED "For King, who has been content working behind the scenes, the book is not only a chance to showcase some of his best work but also a way to unpack a process that, for him, has always been both mysterious and intuitive. A big part of the joy in Kings work and something readily apparent when flipping through Arranging Things is its deceptive simplicity. The book is filled with images of finely wrought objects (glassware, lamps, bits of pottery, soft upholstered edges) paired with roughly hewn tables and brutalist blocks of stone, marble, or wood." Departures In his new book, Arranging Things, interior stylist Colin King collected images from his past work, his greatest hits, and even his iPhone to distill them into one highly teachable book that will make you want to stop scrolling and start marking pages with Post-its.
