Building Paradise is a homage to Lanzarote - an island where architecture, nature and culture unite in a unique harmony. Fabian Freytag, one of Germanys most influential interior designers, weaves personal observations with an artistic exploration of place. Through photography, collage and essays, he reveals how lava, wind and light shape spaces that in turn form identity. Lanzarote thus becomes a living dialogue between humanity and landscape raw, sensuous and timelessly modern.
A book that understands design as an attitude, and aesthetics as an expression of awareness.
