Sean Scherer‘s Kabinett & Kammer

Interior er, artist, and collector Sean Scherer shares his secrets about applying the principles of two-dimensional art to home “The book is a keeper. A must have on my list.” —Robert Ruffino, Style Director of House Beautiful Sean Scherer’s Kabinett & Kammer is equally a celebration and a guide to both collecting and showing how lively can integrate disparate objects into beautifully layered ensembles. Scherer’s interiors feature vintage display cabinets housing discarded collections of whittled songbirds, stunning 19th-century maps and school teaching aids, ferns in cast-iron planters, and photomurals. The effect is a supercharged nod to American Gothic heightened by Scherer’s sophisticated palette and sense of proportion. Each photograph by William Abranowicz is a lesson on color and texture, focal points, and room size. Illustrated with over 200 color photographs and with a foreword by Anderson Cooper, whose house Scherer helped , Kabinett & Kammer demonstrates that though styles fluctuate, and tastes are unique, the principles of are immutable, and good is good . “Expect to find just as many objets d’art scattered across the pages of Scherer’s book, as well as a newfound desire to go antiquing.” —Modern Luxury
