About this product
Product Information
Bland is anathema to Carlos Mota. As he travels the world - from Lisbon to Tangier, India to Santo Domingo, New York to Paris - producing feature stories and ad campaigns for countless publications and companies, he exults in every spark of originality and creativity he sees. Fortunately for us, he not only documents his sightings with his camera but also collects images by a Who's Who of interiors and architectural photographers. And in this volume, he has culled some 280 of his favorite images, all wholly different but all sharing one quality: the beauty of color, both literally and figuratively. There are interiors, table settings, fabric swatches, tiles, floral arrangements, sculptures, architectural ornamentation - whatever captures his discriminating eye. Peppered with quotes about color and beauty by a host of designers, Beige Is Not a Color is the antithesis of bland and as aspirational as it is inspirational.

True to form, Mota arrived in a brightly hued clementine jacket at the Madison Avenue Tory Burch flagship store. For Mota, color is not only what you put on, but also how you live. 'I wanted to show the world how you can live with color and be happy through color,' he says. 'I really believe color brings happiness.' When asked about the shared love of color, Mota was quick to respond. 'Life is better in color and with Tory in it,' Mota said.
