Interiors designed by Michael Del Piero are full of delightful contradictions. She designs minimalist rooms rich with historical character, meticulously edited gallery-like spaces that still have the comforting warmth of home, and breezy abodes with crisp architectural details that feel tailored rather than severe. But the fact that her projects, sprinkled across the United States, come off as reassuringly familiar yet entirely fresh, as they blend elements of American and European style, is a direct result of her background.

This book loosely divides Del Piero’s projects into four sections: Relaxed, Refined, Rough and Restrained. The result is a collection of understated, soulful interiors rich in texture, culture and history that reflect a confident new voice in American design.
