Pilar Guzmán and Chris Mitchell's first book 'Patina Modern' is a how-to guide on designing warm and enduring interiors.

“We find that most design books, as well as Instagram, are really good at showcasing spaces, but they don’t really teach—sort of like a cookbook with gorgeous photos of food, but no recipes,” Guzmán tells“Our approach was to feature some of our own projects, with beautiful photography, but also with the behind-the-scenes process. In other chapters, we break down our formula for collecting, for choosing materials and palette, and for putting it all together.

“Our manifesto came from the problems that we came up against time and again in our own projects,” Guzmán says. “The pain points of renovating and designing are pretty universal— everyone wants the holy grail: for their home to be beautiful, but also comfortable. We find that solving for lighting, palette and arranging furniture—these basics are more than half the battle.

Mitchells adds that each project is so specific to the building you start with. The couple personally only works on homes from the 19th century or older “because the quirks, limitations and challenges of the existing structure is what spurs our creativity.”
