Interior Narratives

The first book by designer Anderson, featuring projects showcasing his warm, rustic, modern look, which has a cult following on Instagram and in the design world.

Based in Memphis, TN, designer Anderson’s aesthetic is unique and authentic—natural materials nod to rural roots, while sleek silhouettes reflect a modernist sensibility. His work is informed, from concept to completion, by the highest levels of quality, integrity, and craftsmanship.

Transforming ordinary environments into something extraordinary, Anderson uses contrast to create balance. There is a soulfulness and sense of meaning to his work, as he plays with light and shadow, texture, art, and form. Working from a warm palette rich in neutrals, the rooms feature a compelling mix of curated objects, timeless furnishings mixed with custom pieces. Rich with character and patina, Anderson’s work nods to the past while infusing each project with modern livability and approachability.

With nine full houses ranging from a vibrant retreat in Georgia to a soulful Memphis residence to a chic TriBeCa penthouse, this book explores the unique components of Anderson’s interiors: the juxtaposition of rough and refined, the curious with the sublime, the past and the present. | Sean Anderson, a native son of Mississippi, formed his namesake firm in Memphis, Tennessee in 2013.
