Reviews
"Siblings Pamela Shamshiri and Ramtin Shamshiri made waves in the design industry as two of the founding partners of Commune, then again when they launched Studio Shamshiri in 2016. Their firm's first monograph features several thoughtfully done projects, from midcentury historic masterpieces by Rudolph Schindler and A. Quincy Jones to striking, contemporary homes. A blend of California ease, East Coast glam and European elegance, plus an astute attention to detail and an overall joyful look and feel, preside over all of the featured projects, regardless of style." -MODERN LUXURY INTERIORS

"Pam Shamshiri rocked the design world as one of the four founding partners of Commune, eventually leaving to found Studio Shamshiri, alongside her brother Ramin, in 2016. Since founding, Studio Shamshiri has tackled projects around the globe, ranging from legacy homes to boutique hotels, with a strong, narrative-driven sensibility that seamlessly merges their love of the past with their profound understanding of the needs of modern life. Their first book, Shamshiri: Interiors (Rizzoli) includes a forward by Mayer Rus." -THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"The firm's first monograph pegs itself as a "master class in design" as it bounces between contemporary properties and midcentury homes designed by the likes of architects Rudolph Schindler and A. Quincy Jones. Snapshots of each project are accompanied by a close examination of choices that either modernized historic buildings or rooted new builds in classic design." -CULTURED

"Commune alums Pamela and Ramin Shamshiri founded their Los Angeles studio in 2016, and narrative-driven projects-some of them lavish, some of them sleek-have been focus of the Iranian-born brother and sister duo ever since. The houses brought to life in this book include a light-filled Robert Kennard midcentury, a filmmaker's clutter-free black-and-white compound, and a 1952 Cliff May ranch that powerfully recovered its original personality." -ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
