A stunning visual journey through the homes of people from around the world who have taken steps to simplify their lives and embrace the principles of slow living. Still is an interiors book that invites readers to take on the philosophy of the SLOW movement. Living Sustainably; Local; Organic; and Whole. It talks not just to the question of the physical structures we choose, but also the surrounding environment, and what effect that can have on general happiness and wellbeing. Still includes about a dozen case studies featuring escape homes and owners who live according to these aforementioned principles, enlightening readers as to why they chose this path and how it has benefitted their lives. It is the follow-up to Natalie Walton's successful first title This is Home, and once again features location photography by Chris Warnes. Review: Great source for minimalist and cozy design/lifestyle inspiration - I am an avid collector of interior design and architecture tomes. Other favorites include Kinfolk Home, Landmarks: the Modern House in Denmark, and The Touch by Kinfolk/Norm Architects, and this book makes a lovely addition to this grouping. I love the aesthetic of the featured homes, which share similar traits in terms of a minimalist approach and neutral palette. However, the spaces don't feel monotonous due to a variety of architectural styles and materiality/texture. I also think the photographer and editor have done a great job of featuring both vignettes and overall shots (including exteriors!), which is super useful to pull inspiration from (rather than leaning on one type of image too heavily). Very happy with this purchase. Update (5/27/20): In addition to the earlier remarks, which praise the book for its visuals, I also am really happy with the content. I feel my consumption has become out of hand, and that I absolutely have been trying to fill an internal sense of dissatisfaction with material items/purchases. “Maybe this one household item will change everything,” whether it’s a sponge or dishcloth or new bed sheets. None of these actually satisfy, and the search for the next item is unending. From what I’ve read so far, the book serves as a guide away from this mindless/needless consumption and pushes us into the present, enjoying a slower, more connected, and value-centered lifestyle. I am excited to read more and learn from the featured homes and homeowners. Review: love! - one of my fav's now. if you like homes/ designs with character, comfort, texture, warmth... not basic modern, you will love this book. iv gotten alot of inspiration from it. plenty of pictures. quality made. great coffee table book (if you like that kinda thing).

This Book Made Me Much More CALM and Intentional
Great title for a great book. It's a pretty coffee table book with pretty pictures. But the stories inside make this book a favorite. I have become much more intentional in my life since reading it. I would recommend.

Still
This book caught my attention from the cover photo. Something made me want to purchase it. I really enjoyed the stories and common them in the book which describes “slow living”. Attached photo is the beginning. I love reading this book when I want to feel zen.

Falto envoltorio
El libro ok pero no vino bien envuelto, la tapa vino marcada como sucia y no es limpiable. No me impresiono como nuevo, quizas por la falta de cuidado en el envoltorio.
