The Art of the Bath: Sherle Wagner | Rizzoli Luxury Bath Design Book
Elevate Your Sanctuary with The Art of the Bath Sherle Wagner Book
Introduce the serene, rhythmic grace of world-class bath design to your home with The Art of the Bath Sherle Wagner Book. A masterclass in “Airy Sophistication,” this Rizzoli luxury bath design book celebrates 75 years of the Sherle Wagner legacy brand that transformed functional spaces into realms of timeless elegance. Written by Marissa Wagner Geoffroy with a foreword by Oliver M. Furth, this monograph explores how daring material choices—such as onyx, malachite, and precious metals—and hand-crafted precision turn utilitarian fixtures into sculptural statements. Through 256 pages of rich imagery, the volume presents a “Visual Wonder” of custom hardware, rare ephemera, and rooms designed by masters like Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Vicente Wolf. Consequently, this Sherle Wagner hardware monograph serves as a prestigious foundation for styling a dressing room, ensuite vanity, or living room console with “Quiet Luxury.”
Tracing a line from pioneering mid-century vision to bespoke contemporary interiors, this book shows how fine craft defines space with quiet authority. The light-catching finish of its hardcover jacket also makes it a striking coffee table display piece and a refined addition to a design library.
Stylist Note from Carol: “The rich visual history inside this Sherle Wagner volume brings a prestigious ‘mark of the maker’ feel to any bath vanity or dressing lounge. It is an excellent choice for styling atop a marble tray alongside a crystal catchall; I love to stack it with neutral design books to create an aesthetic that is ‘scaled for breathtaking impact.’”
