‘The Art of the Clash’ Book Party Set for Thursday at Carriage Barn [Q&A]
|
The Carriage Barn Arts Center on Thursday evening is hosting a book party for New Canaan-based interiors and textile designer Sophie von Oertzen Williamson (register here).
Her book, “The Art of the Clash: A Manifesto Against Mundane Design,” was published last week. Signed copies of Von Oertzen Williamson’s book will be available for purchase at the event, and she’ll be joined in a panel discussion by Amanda Loehnis of Puddleduck Designs and photographer Andrea Ceraso to talk about making “The Art of the Clash.”
We put some questions to Von Oertzen Williamson ahead of the book party. Here’s our exchange. ***
New Canaanite: What was the inspiration for “The Art of the Clash”? Sophie von Oertzen Williamson: Throughout my life and my career, I have been asked many times about how to put colors together, how to create the colorful, layered and personal style of homes I’m known for—basically, how to make a house into a home that truly represents who you are; the book tries to answer some of these questions.
