Torrey: Private Spaces - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

New York-based modernist interior design firm TORREY delivers its first signature monograph showcasing a decade in design.

Growing up in America's heartland, Kansas, and hitting New York City at age twenty-one, the young designer Andrew Torrey brought his big dreams, ambition, and strong work ethic with him. The self-taught Torrey took the leap and founded his eponymous firm in 2013.

This first monograph showcases twenty-three of the designer's extraordinary projects, from vibrant Manhattan and sun-soaked Miami to London, Los Angeles, and Cabo San Lucas. This debut book explores Torrey's distinctive approach: a seamless blending of cool, clean, modern designs with opulent finishes, sumptuous materials, and a reverence for the historical and vintage. A passion for contemporary art and an approach combining modern glamour with effortless charm also define Torrey's signature.

This volume features photographs by Manolo Yllera, Douglas Friedman, and Tim Lenz, among others.

Review Quotes

"Red-hot passion for design is palpable on the pages of Torrey: Private Spaces: Great American Design (Rizzoli), fittingly wrapped in a sumptuous red extending across the cover, spine, and end pages. Inside, Galerie contributor Gay Gassmann unpacks Andrew Torrey's unlikely ascent and explains how a series of star-making commissions--a training center for the Brooklyn Nets, a louche smoking room at the 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Show House--propelled him on to design-world greatness." -- GALERIE

"Self-taught interior designer Andrew Torrey founded his own firm in 2013. In his new monograph, he shows readers 23 projects--all private residences--from the past decade. Gay Gassmann--who has also written for ELLE Decor--wrote the book's text, taking us through Torrey's projects in Miami, London, Los Angeles, Cabo, and more." -- ELLE DÉCOR

The new monograph Torrey: Private Spaces: Great American Design offers an expansive look into the work of designer Andrew Torrey, whose practice has grown from a solo endeavor in New York City into a studio synonymous with polished, modern American interiors. It offers a resource for architects, stylists, and collectors who share his fascination with spaces that feel deliberate yet accommodating. As an object, it signals the same qualities as the interiors it chronicles: weight, clarity, and a sustained attention to detail." -- DESIGN BOOM
