‘Inside Tangier: Houses & Garden’ Book Launch

On November 19, 2019, Paolo and Philip hosted the book launch of Inside Tangier: Houses & Gardens by Nicolò Castellini Baldissera and Guido Taroni, at the showroom in Holbein Place in collaboration with the publisher Vendome.

A white-walled city perched between Morocco and Europe, Tangier was long a haven for the literary and artistic avant-garde – and black sheep – of Europe and America. Now a generation of residents are blending colour, pattern, and taste to create an interior aesthetic all of their own. ‘Inside Tangier’ explores a selection of these exceptional properties and their eccentric inhabitants – from antiques dealer and collector Gordon Watson and interior designer Frank de Biasi to the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and antiques dealer Christopher Gibbs – providing rare insights into the sometimes bohemian, sometimes extravagant, but always stylish “Tangerine” lifestyle.
