Book Ken Fulk: The Movie in My Mind - Assouline

For over 30 years, interior designer and builder extraordinaire Ken Fulk has created some of the most enchanting spaces in the world. Whether it's homes, hotels, restaurants and bars, members clubs, private planes or unforgettable events, no one can host a party or infuse a space with so much personality and provenance as Ken Fulk. The designer - who has been named to Architectural Digest's AD100 list, Elle Decor's A-list and twice nominated for a James Beard Award for his hospitality projects - is known for his signature blend of cinematic flair and layered spaces that pay homage to the traditional influences of his Virginian upbringing.
In his first book with Assouline,

The Movie In My Mind, Fulk takes readers behind the scenes of some of his most extravagant projects, pairing stunning photography with personal stories about the inspiration and intent of each project. Each new space begins with a story, with visions racing through its mind like on a film strip: a Napa Valley farm that pays homage to the region's rural hills dotted with Cabernet vineyards; an action-packed superyacht reminiscent of 007, Bullitt and Foxy Brown; or the infusion of a Manhattan clubhouse with its childhood dreams of grandeur: high ceilings, antebellum moldings, gleaming marble floors and a grand entryway.

With a foreword by Ronan Farrow, photographs by Douglas Friedman, and captivating text by Ken himself that invites the reader into his wondrous mind, The Movie In My Mind is a delightful maximalist tome.
