"Traveling the globe to work on various projects, from large European businesses to European royalty, Jadot brings a custom approach to each project, oftentimes designing the furniture that's for each one." - www.design-milk.com 
"My job is very varied and I like creating a new universe each day. My style is not defined and it is the diversity of my work that attracts people. Dreamers are my best audience." - Lionel Jadot 
"I never make a decor that is fashionable but I always try to find out what is hidden behind the walls of a house and I try to create something authentic, where all elements come together and the end result is correct and honest." - Lionel Jadot
Lionel Jadot is the archetype of an eclectic person. Born from a family of furniture makers, the workshop was his playground and at a very young age he became interested in the art of making furniture. He expanded his focus later on and can now call himself an architect, interior designer, designer, artist and movie director. In his view working equals playing, recycling, assembling, always with a nod towards other cultures, the past, and local context.

Home is where the glam is. A sexy interior design book with glamorous, cinematic houses from the seventies, eighties, nineties and nillies. Houses with an erotic tension that make you fantasize. Houses that could just as well be a movie set. Houses that make you dream of a wild party rather than a cozy family breakfast. Houses where the shade of Hamilton still wanders around. All of them characteristic and iconic, and top of their architectural class, selected by Thijs Demeulemeester.

This book is a Wunderkammer in itself, showcasing the most beautiful exotica, which explorers and adventurous merchants brought back from all over the world for rich collectors. Be amazed by beautiful seashells, stuffed animals, sculptured ostrich eggs, botanical drawings, 'dragons' preserved in formaldehyde, and bewildering Indiana Jones-like stories. A fascinating New World presented itself to them, and in this book, you'll see it through their eyes.

"Life is too short to drive boring cars." - Hanan Sobati, founder of Arabian Gazelles, the first female supercar club in the world. "I only purchase and drive cars that represent thoughtful design, elegance and performance." - Frank Lloyd Wright. This book about beautifully designed cars and international architecture has been curated with an eye for pure aesthetics. Although architecture and cars are theoretically miles apart, the sources of inspiration for their designers are often strikingly similar. Recalling a time when you could recognise an architect from his Saab or his Citroën DS, lifestyle journalist Thijs Demeulemeester shows that architects and luxury car makers are alike in their appreciation of elegance of design, attention to materials, and solid construction. This book takes you on a trip through some iconic houses and the unique cars that match them.
