Book Synopsis

The first monograph of interior designer Nina Magon, featuring the glamorous spaces that have made her sought-after by a jet-set clientele

Growing up in Houston, yet born in Canada, interior designer Nina Magon would frequently return to India with her family, and with every passage take a different course, visiting the world's cultural capitals. These dramatic detours profoundly impacted her global approach and shaped her award-winning practice.

In Evoke, her first book, Magon shares with readers the cosmopolitan glamour that has become her signature, a sophisticated style carefully balancing high-gloss modernism and old-world grandeur that has been embodied in designs she has created for many prominent families, prestigious hotel brands, and star athletes. Each unique space she creates is evocative of a well-traveled lifestyle, synthesizing art, architecture, and fashion.
