Jonathan Rachman’s instantly classic designs come to life in vibrant and sumptuous color in this first monograph on the Sumatran-born, San Francisco-based interior decorator.
Interior decorator Jonathan Rachman opens the doors to his universe in this volume illustrating his eclectic, vividly colorful, and markedly refined style, through various projects undertaken for prestigious clients.
Born on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, trained in Switzerland, and today based out of San Francisco, Rachman injects his projects with his own wide-reaching, worldly experience, his explorations into provincial flea markets, and his taste for textiles, leather goods, handicrafts, and art objects. In each of his designs, he combines the best materials from the East and the West, devising personalized plans for his clients and creating a timeless approach to interior design.

I have found the decorator who resonates with my design soul. He is fabulous!
I love that he had no formal training and much of his work is driven by pure instinct and soul!
Lovely book, the eclectic designs were beautiful and well presented. Your children's tree reminded me when I did the same for my daughter. Once she became an adult she was given her treasures and I continued adding to it. Now I add to the grandchildren with my own hand made items. Such fun. See you next time.
I do love this book. I love your similar story about the tree. They grow up too fast. Memories are wonderful things!
Beautiful book/interesting designer... and thank you again for bringing us into your lovely home!
Love his use of jewel colors.
He gets your attention with the colors and then keeps your attention with the visually interesting designs! I do love his work.
First, I find your voice so soothing and comfortable to my soul. I so..........love and look forward to each video that you post. I run to my library to reserve the book that you are recommending and I snuggle deeply into my bed to dream away. Secondly, what a beautiful and creative decorator Jonathon has become or is! Third, thank you for your Christmas tree memories of your family and sharing them with us.
That is such a nice comment. I appreciate it! Jonathon Rachman is truly talented. This was a large book, full of great photographs and not overpriced.
Love Jon Rachman's designs so unique yet traditional. love your home as well. thank you for this.
This was a fabulous book and thank you!
Outstanding decor...with emerald green and turquoise.
What awesome story of your children and the Christmas tree.. is a treasure in your heart and theirs..is great way to remember the growing process of the family..and keep precious moment forever..thank you for sharing....
This book is fabulous and thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments!
Wow! It is not usual for me to live every single page! What a gift!
I have been waiting for this book. It was released just a few weeks ago. It was worth the wait!
Rewatching this and I must say his design is timeless indeed… you quoted the essences so exquisitely. I love your candy theme tree.. so joyful and sweet. Gorgeous.
Jonathon Rachman is a kind soul and a wonderful designer. Thanks for watching.
I absolutely love this review. What a fabulous designer! Every page was an inspiration. One more book added to my wish list. 😊
Your living room christmas decor is so sweet. I think it's so thoughtful to have purchased a tree your children selected and decorated!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
LEE here. Just found your chanel while searching about Highclere Castle ...I ran across your video and fell instantly head over heels for your video production. Everything about your video was spellbinding and very beautifully done while being educational and inspiring. Looking forward to more videos with you. THANK YOU.
Thank you, what a thoughtful comment. I really appreciate it and thanks so much for watching!
Love this man’s philosophy in decorating. It’s boring to see everything white or soft gray. Thanks for bringing in a great book.
Yes, it was released less than a month ago and I have been waiting patiently. I enjoy his style and as you said, "his philosophy"!
Hi Mary, This is the first time I am hearing of Jonathan Rachman. His book is beautiful, and I totally agree with his timeless style. I also enjoyed seeing you decorate your darling tree in your family room. Funny.... when the children are young and bring home little homemade trinkets made in grammar school and they hang them on the tree (in my case usually on an inconspicuous limb (LOL) that one day you would hold those same trinkets in your hand and wish you could turn back time. What would we do without beautiful memories? Have a wonderful day. Hugs! :)
I know- you are so right. When your children are small the days seem long, but the years are fast...too fast. Thank goodness for memories, yes indeed!
Wow, he's fantastic. Added to my 'want' list. Thanks!
He is like a stick of decorating dynamite. I loved this book.
Beautiful book added to my wish list 🥰
This was a wonderful book with such interesting designs that are bold but not overwhelming.
What a very gifted and humble designer. His book is stunning. Thank you for another wonderful review. ps Your holiday decorating is so cozy and charming!
Thank you! This was a great book. I knew only a little about Rachman before this book. He is a great designer.
I love design books so I've been watching your videos when they're suggested to me, but getting to see glimpses of your own beautiful home finally made me a subscriber!
Thank you! It was not an easy transition, as I feel my home is quite ordinary, but I so appreciate your comment.💕
I also had two children then one more ten years later. It was so nice to kind of get to “do it again” lovely video.
I agree. I learned so much with my first two children, especially how quickly time slips away. Don’t take it for granted!

Not familiar with this designer but will be ,as for candles I love both your choices,both favorites of mine I really stock up on the Thymes,I even burn on a hot summer night 🌿💚
I have been seeing Jonathon Rachman's work in various publications for a couple of years, but knew very little about him. I was impressed. And, yes, I love candles any time. 💗
Hi Tartan, I like very much your videos. I wold like to see more Christimas videos. Are you intending to do more about Christima? Kisses.
Yes- I have one more book on entertaining and then it will be ALL Christmas. I have a lot of great books lined up. Thanks for commenting!
Love your videos! I am ordering a book for Christmas gifts! Do you have any books on Santa Fe style design?
I do have a couple books on Santa Fe. One is very old {and a bit dated) and the other is "Secret Gardens of Santa Fe". After Christmas maybe I'll review one. Did you have one in mind?
@@thetartantopiary No, just loved my trip there and the decor style. Thank you!
Would you review the book wonderlust,😊
I would love to. My daughter gave this book to me several years ago. I will try to do it this month (April).
I had to search high and low for this book. My mom had borrowed it. Thank you for suggesting it. I had forgotten how much I loved it.
