Christopher Gibbs: His World
Words by Lucy Moore
Antiques dealer, interior designer, aesthete, socialite and tastemaker extraordinaire, Christopher Gibbs pioneered a style of interior decoration often described as “distressed bohemian” – a mixture of refinement, exoticism and well-worn grandeur. This book charts his life story through his own diaries and magazine articles from Chelsea and the Rolling Stones in the 1960s to El Foolk, his house in Tangier in the 2010s.
