Martin Brudnizki’s maximalist style and ability to transform high-profile venues into iconic spaces have earned him a prestigious reputation internationally. This debut book explores how the celebrated designer uses the language of color to create glamorous interiors that are both opulent and deeply resonant, where every shade tells a singular story.

For Brudnizki, color is an essential ingredient for storytelling and conjuring atmosphere. Color is a force that brings his spaces to life, defining them, and enhancing the experience within them; it is a character in itself and Brudnizki uses it to blur the lines between eras and styles, to marry heritage with modern luxury.

From the fantasy-full and decadent rococo interiors of London members club Annabel’s to the soft, muted palette of the Splendido’s Baronessa Suite and the Parisian spirit of the restaurant at New York’s outpost of Fouquet’s, Brudnizki’s signature paintbrush imbues his interiors with idiosyncrasy and flair.

In this enchanting volume, the designer draws inspiration from nature, art, fashion, and history to show us how color influences his life and work. The charming design of the book brings the magic of his world to life: classical busts are unmoored from their pedestals, silky peonies embellish texts, candelabras glow, and birds flutter free from their frescoes and travel with us for pages. Each chapter is devoted to a single color, illuminating how Brudnizki leverages the emotional power of color to enhance the overwhelmingly beautiful and luxurious spaces he creates.
Veranda Best New Design Book to Buy in 2025: "Martin Brudnizki's wonderfully maximalist style is on full display in some of the world's most beautiful hotels, restaurants, and clubs. However, in his debut book, he offers readers exclusive insights into his design philosophy, with a specific focus on the power of different colors in each chapter."

"Martin Brudnizki’s maximalist style and ability to transform high-profile venues into iconic spaces have earned him a prestigious reputation internationally.

"What do the colorful interiors at New York's Fifth Avenue Hotel, Le Grand Mazarin in Paris, and Annabel's in London have in common? The interiors were all designed by Martin Brudnizki, who shares his inspiration (and talents!) in his new book My Life in Colors. —BH" — ELLE DECOR

"Surprisingly—given his storied 25-year career as the acclaimed designer for such glam, jet-setter spaces as Annabelle’s in London, the Hotel Splendido in Portofino, and the Beekman Hotel in New York—this is Martin Brudnizki’s first book. With more than 40 projects to share, he decided to organize both his work and his thoughts on design around specific hues. Weaving a tapestry of art, history, and design references, Brudnizki delves into the meaning of colors as well as how to use them in interior design. His theatrical projects incorporate “escapism and a large dose of imagination,” qualities this book has in spades." — FREDERIC

"...this stunning debut book showcases a series of breathtaking interior projects, from high-end private members’ clubs and restaurants to luxurious hotels and residences, the book features notable spaces such as Annabel’s and Harry’s in London, the chic Baronessa Suite of Splendido in Portofino, and across the Atlantic to The Fifth Avenue Hotel and Hotel Barrière Fouquet’s in New York. These projects will amaze you with their tasteful details, intelligent use of decorative objects and upholstery, and the bold, innovative combinations that create a modern yet opulent atmosphere, inviting you to explore and appreciate each space." — MY MODERN DARCY
