Acclaimed designer, Benjamin Johnston, invites audiences behind the scenes of his highly anticipated debut monograph, “Refined Interiors: Timeless Homes for Modern Living” (Rizzoli, February 2026). Drawing from eight recently completed residences—many never before published—Johnston shares the layered philosophies that define his distinctive aesthetic. Spanning a range of architectural styles, historical periods, and cultural influences, each home demonstrates his gift for weaving diverse inspirations into richly harmonious, emotionally resonant spaces. Through striking visuals, real-world examples, and thoughtful storytelling, Ben offers a glimpse into his creative process, sharing insights on the interplay of contrast and cohesion, the beauty found in imperfection,
and the role of theatricality in elevating everyday life. Whether exploring dramatic entertaining spaces or the dynamic between daytime and nighttime environments, Ben distills timeless lessons that speak to both design professionals and passionate enthusiasts alike.
