John Derian’s home goods empire reaches far and wide—in addition to the
four John Derian stores he owns in New York and Massachussetts, his
products are sold by more than 600 retailers worldwide, including Neiman
Marcus, ABC, and Gump’s in the United States; Conran and Liberty in the
UK; and Astier de Villatte in Paris. It all started with his now-iconic
collectible plates decoupaged with 19th-century artwork sourced from
old and rare books, a process that credited him with elevating the
decoupage technique into fine art. Over the past 25 years, the brand has
expanded greatly to include home and general design gifts and products.
Now, for the first time ever, comes the book John Derian fans have been
waiting for. Culled from the thousands of images that have appeared in
his biannual collections, here is an astoundingly beautiful assortment
of nearly 300 full-bleed images in their original form. From intensely
colored flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and
breathtaking landscapes, the best of John Derian is here. The result is
an oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself, that
brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art, and that is
destined to become the gift book of the season.
