Beauty & Mischief, The Design Alchemy of Blackman Cruz

Beauty & Mischief offers an inside look at the world of Adam Blackman and David Cruz, the visionary duo behind the cult-favorite Blackman Cruz showroom. Known for their fearless and theatrical approach to design, they have spent more than three decades curating extraordinary furniture, lighting, and decorative objects that blur the line between art and artifact. Their finds, from Al Capone’s chairs to a rare Arturo Pani desk, reflect a taste for the rare, the dramatic, and the delightfully imperfect. With a foreword by Ryan Murphy, this book celebrates their singular eye for beauty, wit, and a touch of mischief that continues to inspire designers and collectors alike.
