Description
Welcome to The Daniel House Book Club. We’re here to learn more about great design together. Whether you’re designing a new hotel or just furnishing your first apartment, we’re exploring books that will help you create spaces you and / or your guests and clients will want to return to again and again. There’s a lot of design out there and though I hate to be a downer, not all of it is good. But all of it could be, if we armed ourselves with a little more knowledge. This is not a podcast created to persuade you toward one aesthetic or another, but to explore together the immense library of design genius that has been contributed to the world by so many great talents that came before us and some that are still among us, so that when we arrive at our next jobs, we’ll find our place amongst the ranks of our amazing profession. I’m Peter Spalding, the Chief Creative Officer of The Daniel House Club, and I’ll be your host.

People love to come to your house because they want to be in your vibe,” says Oregon Home Magazine editor, Emily Grosvenor. "Earlier eras were too concerned with what the story of their space was telling other people, but hopefully we're getting more into telling our own stories now," she adds. Beyond her editorial work, Grosvenor acts as a spatial therapist. Relying on ancient wisdom and modern science, she helps people orient their homes in a way that reflects where they're headed, ra...

We’re going to push our study of Josef Albers’ classic book Interaction of Color to next week, because I wanted to share the interview I did with Cyrus Nazmiyal, the vice president of one of our vendors, Rug & Kilim. In our conversation, we talk about a bunch of stuff from the history of his family’s incredible business, the trends he’s seeing in rug specification by designers now and some of the processes that make a Rug & Kilim piece so special. Cyrus does mention some upcomin...
Listen as author and Quintessence Blog host Susanna Salk gives us the confidence to let our emotional responses guide our design process, even if that represents a departure from what Elsie de Wolfe might have thought.
This week Peter interviews Roy Caro Cohen of The Picturalist. They discuss Elsie De Wolf's chapters on the Small Apartments and Reproductions of Antique Furniture and Objects of Art (Chapter 16 & 17 if you're following along).

Listen to learn more about using reproductions effectively and to understand the philosophy behind The Picturalist. See The Picturalist of Dan...

We’re in our 4th of 6 episodes dedicated to Elsie ed Wolfe’s The House in Good Taste. And let me tell you, I am feeling the burn.
