Veere Grenney: A Point of View: On Decorating
A Point of View is the first book from AD100 designer Veere Grenney — master of streamlined, glamorous interiors with a distinctly English touch. Spanning thirty years of acclaimed work, from London townhouses to Long Island estates, the book explores not just how to decorate, but why. Organized by room, Grenney shares his philosophy on entrances, living rooms, bedrooms, and beyond, touching on themes of Englishness, composition, and balance. He also weaves in his own story — from the London design scene of the 1970s to renovating David Hicks' former home and his new retreat in Tangier — alongside a chapter on the iconic designers who shaped his vision. Packaged with a cloth case and mixed paper stocks, this is an essential read for Anglophiles and design lovers alike.

Today, their publishing family spans several celebrated imprints. Rizzoli Universe covers popular culture, travel, cooking, and beyond, while Rizzoli Electa handles museum and exhibition publishing in collaboration with Mondadori Electa. Their 2024 acquisition of Chelsea Green Publishing reflects a growing commitment to sustainability, regenerative living, and integrative wellness.

At the heart of it all remains the Rizzoli Bookstore — widely regarded as one of America's finest independent booksellers.
