Assouline’s Relaxed Luxury by renowned designer Chad Dorsey is set to redefine how we think about luxury living in 2025. As a key player in interior design, Dorsey coined the term “relaxed luxury” to describe an aesthetic of elevated comfort. It’s about surrounding yourself with pieces that are not only functional but also tactile and approachable—luxury that doesn’t shout but speaks quietly through its careful details.

In this beautifully illustrated book, Dorsey takes readers on a tour of his most notable projects, offering insight into achieving this laid-back yet sophisticated style in your own home. From penthouses in the heart of Texas to historic homes and modern bungalows, Dorsey’s work showcases a seamless blend of casual elegance that’s both timeless and modern.

The 256-page hardcover offers more than just design tips; it’s a journey into the mind of a designer who has worked with some of the most coveted properties across the U.S. and Mexico. Dorsey’s advice is practical—covering everything from choosing the right paint colors to space-saving techniques—and aimed at creating beautiful and liveable interiors. The book is the perfect guide for anyone looking to add understated luxury to their living spaces without them feeling stuffy or overdone. At $120, Relaxed Luxury isn’t just a book—it’s an invitation to live with intention and style. Available in February 2025.
