Reviews
"Like the historical and artisan pieces expertly assembled within them, Steven Volpe's interiors tell a great story. Though often quiet in terms of color and pattern, the spaces are never sterile-rather, Volpe develops intrigue through a masterful assemblage of texture and objects. As Mayer Rus writes in the tome's opening essay, "His spaces evoke and reward sincerity and curiosity. They become elixirs, at once calmative and stimulating, teasing beauty and order from the chaos of everyday existence." It's a level of simplicity that can only be achieved, ironically, when done with great complexity, as evidenced by the architect's stories of painstaking-and downright engrossing-restorations shared within the nine home tours detailed in the volume." -ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
