Located in New York, NY
Ray Booth: The Expressive Home: Architecture and Interiors
Author Ray Booth, with Judith Nasatir
For his second book, Booth, a master of modern elegance, creates homes that are strikingly sophisticated and wonderfully livable at the same time.
Booth showcases his innovative and sophisticated modern interiors, which mix a keen sense of tranquility with bold and elegant details, as well as homes renovated inside and out, and houses designed and decorated from the foundations up. Both his exteriors and interiors display a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements, resulting in an appealingly timeless aesthetic. This exquisitely designed tome presents his forward-thinking vision.
The spectacular projects featured span the country from coast to coast—from a dramatic Los Angeles hillside dwelling with expansive windows to a contemporary Nashville home that marries brick, metal, and wood. For his own Provincetown seaside getaway, he has chosen an unexpected cutting-edge style. These projects show how he pushes the boundaries of design while imbuing spaces with soul.

Franco Pepe: Pizza Chef
Located in New York, NY
The story, ideology, and recipes of master pizzaiolo Franco Pepe, founder of the world-famous Pizzeria Pepe in Grani
Franco Pepe is no ordinary pizzaiolo – he’s a culinary genius who has revolutionized the world of pizza. Born into a family of bakers, Pepe mastered the craft of traditional pizza-making before dedicating himself to experimentation with ancient flour blends and fermentation methods. He founded his restaurant, Pepe in Grani, in Caiazzo, near Naples, and quickly gained worldwide acclaim, attracting hordes of food-savvy travelers with exceptional pizzas made with his unique signature dough and high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
Franco Pepe: Pizza Chef reveals how Pepe elevated the humble pizza to new culinary heights. Packed with rich storytelling and vivid photographs, the cookbook uncovers the secrets behind Pepe’s artistry and presents 30 exclusive recipes designed for home cooks.
Beginning with the simple, rustic Pizza a Libretto, the recipe collection ranges from La Ritrovata, a nostalgic homage to Pepe’s father’s pizza marinara, and Memento, a plant-based pizza featuring chickpea cream, to the sweet and savory Crisommola del Vesuvio, inspired by Franco’s desire to use rare local apricots, and Sensazione di Costiera, which brings together the citrus scents and seafood flavors of the Amalfi Coast. Together, the recipes reveal Pepe’s passion for high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and the delicate balance of flavors that make his pizzas so exceptional.
The book also features forewords by food writer Faith Willinger, chef and author Nancy Silverton, and food writer and pizza aficionado Daniel Young.

Antique and Vintage Collectibles and Curiosities for Sale
Antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities can bring whimsy and wonder to any interior.
Decorating with old scientific instruments, historical memorabilia and vintage musical instruments, as well as other authentic collectibles and curiosities that can be found on 1stDibs, presents an opportunity to create a unique, natural history museum-like atmosphere in your home that can provoke conversation as often as it pays tribute to how far we’ve come in understanding our world.
And bringing collectibles and curiosities into your space is actually on trend — Wunderkammern, or curiosity cabinets, were all the rage in Europe during the 1500s and continued to have adherents there and in the U.S. in the following centuries. Today, however, they’re experiencing a real surge in popularity and influencing how many interior designers are furnishing and decorating homes — combining contemporary with antique, scientific with tribal, earthly with extraterrestrial, Les Lalanne tables with Flemish tapestries.
The original Wunderkammern were entire rooms filled with objects demonstrating their owners’ worldly knowledge: A proper one included artificiala or preciosa (objets d’art); naturalia (such as skeletons, shells, minerals); exotica (taxidermy or dried plants); and scientifica (scientific instruments), frequently alongside religious relics and ancient artifacts.
Pay tribute to a history of rich and diverse musical traditions that have taken shape all over the world by decorating your home with a collection of antique and vintage musical instruments — with a little help from strong hanging wire or some wall hooks, vintage brass instruments such as a gong, French horn or trumpet can help elevate a home office or complement the efforts you’ve made to ensure a welcoming vibe in your home’s entryway. Bells or antique wind instruments can add provocative metallic contrasts to dark woods as tabletop decorative objects.
Create an intriguing focal point with Georgian scientific instruments, such as stick barometers with mahogany cases or lacquered brass telescopes. These items stem from an era named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who ruled England in succession starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). Just as there was beautiful jewelry produced during the period that today is coveted by collectors, there is much to be found in the collectibles and curiosities realm too.
Wanderlust, nostalgia and a shared love of good design are contributing factors to certain trends in decorating — just as vintage trunks and luggage have reappeared as furniture or home accents in a bedroom or foyer, decorating with globes, maps or nautical objects is similarly rooted in the allure of travel and a penchant for the stylish finishing touch that collectibles bring to our homes.
Find a wide range of antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities on 1stDibs.
