Sensual Living

Indulge your senses in an extravagant, evocative experience--first in photos and then, following their lead, in your own home. Here is an intensely personal view of what is most pleasing to the eye, delicious and fragrant to taste and smell, nice to the touch, and soothing and seductive to the ear. Taking each sense in turn, a visually sophisticated photographer shows how it functions individually, affects our moods and emotions, and interrelates with the others. Explore all the possibilities and as your roam these magnificent interiors, think of fresh ways to bring pleasure and comfort to your private dwelling. Every image calls forth more than one perception and sense--memory. Even though the picture of leather chairs appears in "Smell," and instantly suggests that fabric's warm, subtle aroma, how could you not think of how wonderful it feels to the hand's touch and the body nestled contentedly on the seat? Every photo will enlighten and inspire.

An interior-design book with an approach based on analyzing and making use of all the senses. The first five chapters look at the role our senses play in daily life. Images of interiors and of the world around us evoke special associations with particular senses. The final chapter, on the sixth sense, draws all the visual clues together and places them in context, showing room settings in their entirety.

The tang of salt in the air. Sunlight sparkling on clear blue water. Pomegranate seeds glistening like jewels in your palm. Australian artist, designer and photographer Claire Lloyd had a successful career in London, a beautiful apartment and a life filled with excitement and travel. However, she was beginning to feel exhausted by her life's hectic pace. One day a chance conversation with a friend led her to the Greek island of Lesvos, where she finally found what she was looking for - a sense of peace and the return of her creative drive. This book describes Claire's journey to a small village in Greece - the ancient land of gods and poets, where the seasons govern a way of life that has barely changed over thousands of years. Accompanied by Claire's stunning photographs filled with colour and light, this inspirational story of reconnecting with nature and community, and finding beauty in the smallest details, will make you see the world anew.
