Interior Design

We often joke that Jesse and Mara are like contributing editors to my own private magazine. Both at Vogue and at home, they always bring a grand vision to the table along with invaluable expertise and an impeccable eye. It continues to amaze me that they managed to turn a series of broken-down barns into a wonderful compound for my family. Anna Wintour Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller, the principals of Carrier and Company Interiors, are a husband-and-wife design duo who create rooms that are a confident mix of timeless and contemporary design familiar and fresh at once. Always refined and sophisticated, the Carriers work ranges in style from elegantly traditional to luxuriously minimalist. Their rooms often features subtle patterns and neutral palettes punctuated by bursts of exuberance and unexpected mixes of high and low, old and new. Whether decorating a sprawling country house or a Tribeca loft, a winter home in Florida or an apartment in a converted New York printing house, the Carriers mission is to connect people with place and combine their tailored, carefully edited and curated approach with the clients collections, artwork, taste and personality, creating exquisitely detailed yet comfortable and personalized spaces. Illustrated with some 275 full-colour photographs and featuring a foreword by Anna Wintour, Carrier and Company: Positively Chic Interiors introduces the reader to the Carriers unique aesthetic and shows why they are the designers of choice for so many of Americas most discriminating arbiters of taste. It will undoubtedly be the standout decorating book of the year.
