Reviews"Stylist and artistic director Colin King knows you don't always need grand gestures to have a powerful impact. The interiors he crafts in collaboration with Athena Calderone, Roman & Williams, and The Future Perfect delicately balance artful elements with serene surroundings, while his product designs for Beni Rugs and Menu gently whisper luxury with their graceful forms and muted colors. Now, in his first collection with Troy Lighting, King has created 16 styles of pendent, floor, and table lamps that combine sophisticated shapes with soigné details. 'This collection is an artful study in material, form, and function,' says King, who is also releasing his first book, Arranging Things (Rizzoli) in March." --GALERIE MAGAZINE "New York-based stylist King explores the importance of composition, scale and proportion when creating vignettes around the home. Through a series of anecdotes and visual essays, he explains his process for cultivating beauty in our everyday surroundings and reminds readers that styling is not about buying new things but rather, it's about seeing old favorites with fresh eyes." --DESIGN NEW JERSEY "The work of a stylist is really making art out of relationships -- between shapes, textures, materials, and colors -- in a way that's satisfying to see. In just a few years, Colin King has become a stylist who continues to surprise us with his instincts, styling minimalist yet still visually rich interiors for clients like Roman and Williams Guild, Architectural Digest, and Anthropologie. Despite working with big brands, King's approach is remarkably accessible and sustainable, and his book is a guide to looking at your own belongings with a fresh perspective." --CURBED NY, "Stylist and artistic director Colin King knows you don't always need grand gestures to have a powerful impact.
