Celebrate purple in all its manifestations—in nature, art, interiors, and design

“Carlos Mota’s G: Forever Green is a scrapbook-like compilation dedicated to the universally loved color. . . . No subject too humble or shade too bright is off-limits for this well-traveled style guru. . . . Prepare for a jolt of serotonin with each turn of the page.”—Luxe Interiors + Design

Purple: the color of royalty, creativity, luxury, magic, and peace. It is seen in nature—lavender, plum, amethyst—and in fashion, jewelry, art, interiors, and architecture. Now, interior designer Carlos Mota follows his acclaimed book G: Forever Green with this new look at purple, a color that inspires creativity and mystery in cultures around the globe. From the sublime, varied hues of orchids, pansies, and hydrangea to Georgia O’Keeffe’s Purple Petunia and Monet’s paintings of water lilies in his garden at Giverny; from the brilliant feathers of purple hummingbirds and doves to stained-glass windows, royal robes, and velvet upholstery; from the palest lilac to the deepest violet, the variety of purple is astonishing. Illustrated with Mota’s own photographs, taken as he has traveled the world, as well as images by renowned photographers, Purple Fever even features purple rooms by notable designers. This stunning volume is a testament to the power of purple to inspire, excite, and fascinate.
