Book: My Prescription for Anti-Depressive Living

by Stephanie Wong • Feb 14, 2006 12:07 AM PST

Jonathan Adler€™s claim to fame is €œCelebrity Potter€�. In reality it wouldn€™t be an overstatement to add to that claim: cheeky interior designer, specialty store magnate, product designer, arbiter of groovy chic, and all around nice guy. Early on, a professor advised Jonathan to avoid a career in pottery. Luckily for us Jonathan ignored this advice and let his passion for pottery prevail. This Celebrity Potter has transformed a dreary crafty summer camp pastime into a chic, modern lifestyle brand.

The book guides us thru Jonathan€™s personal manifesto and tenets for living and is filled with photos of his own product designs, interiors and objects that have inspired him. Featured interiors include the Parker Palm Springs - an Adler designed resort, photographer Andrea Stern€™s modernist masterpiece beach house, as well as views of Jonathan and partner Simon Doonan€™s Greenwich Village, Shelter Island, and Palm Beach homes.

This is Adler€™s literary debut and will serve as an inspiration to many an aspiring potter, interior designer or anyone looking to live the anti-depressive life.
