An all-encompassing look into the ethos and inspiration of the famed interior design duo, Adam Blackman and David Cruz, known for their quirky, daring style, which has drawn in celebrities and tastemakers worldwide As the New York Times once wrote, “in the annals of creative twosomes, there’s Lennon and McCartney, Watson and Crick, Christo and Jean-Claude. And in the world of high-end collectible design, there’s Blackman and Cruz.” Coming up on the 30th anniversary of their acclaimed Los Angeles showroom, Blackman and Cruz are without parallel in the design world for their collector’s eye that is quirky yet grounded in the classics. In Beauty & Mischief, the authors celebrate the joys of discovering interesting, unusual, and beautiful objects, and share their expertise, inspirations, and philosophy with readers looking to develop their own collector’s eye. Filled with new photography as well as historic images, stories about collectible decorative arts, commentary from top designers, and informative captions, the book gives readers insight as to what catches the collectors’ eye and why and will certainly inspire their own collecting.

Foreword by Emmy Award–Winner Ryan Murphy
 
With a keen eye for evocative design, Adam Blackman and David Cruz have been delighting audiences in their Blackman Cruz showroom with their insatiable avidity for acquiring showstopping furniture, lighting, and decorative arts for over thirty years. Gravitating toward the rare, dramatic, and playful, these purveyors of “life enhancers” create environments with objects that captivate with their multisensory design aesthetic and unusual provenance.
 
From a pair of chairs from Al Capone’s Wisconsin retreat called the Hideout to a rare 1930s Arturo Pani desk to the creations of designers such as Carlo Bugatti, José “Pepe” Mendoza, Mike Diaz, Lika Moore, Jane Hallworth, and Gianni Vallino, among others, Beauty & Mischief showcases the merchants’ predilection for the quirky and the quintessential, inviting readers to indulge their senses and curate their own spaces.
