A Note From the Publisher

The name Poketo (pronounced “poh-keh-toe”) stems from the mispronunciation of “pocket” by Angie’s grandmother. It tied in perfectly with the first product ever created under Poketo: a series of artist wallets that fit right in your pocket—and Ted and Angie just loved the way it sounded.

As a European, I had to Google Poketo to find out the beautiful collection of products Ted and Angie curated for their shop. In this book, they visit a variety of designers and artists in their studios and homes, giving an intimate look into their lives and work. The stories are well written and inspiring; they provide an insight into the love for great design by both Poketo founders and the designers they work with; The interior photography and vignette shots are excellent. Of course, it's a book by a successful shop but, it certainly isn't a catalog or a company brochure. On the contrary! It's a beautiful book that wants me to create Art with a capital A.

Lovely large photographs of lots of unique spaces intended for a variety of creation activities. Each "chapter" features a different artist and their space (chefs, set designers, painters, etc.) and the accompanying essay gives additional insight into the way those artists think about their spaces and how the designers married their interior design vision with the clients' needs. This isn't so much a how-to book as it is inspirational.

A beautiful book about creative people, who share their creative spaces and stories with the rest of us. The book is beautifully presented, the photos and spaces are stunning and unique - this is one book that will be used many times, to give both pleasure and great ideas. A book to browse or just sit and read over time, a book to dip in many times.

I love interior design books. They’re sorbets of the mind for me after spending hours writing. CREATIVE SPACES beautifully clears the mental palate by showcasing the studios, abodes and lives of 23 authors, designers, artists, and entrepreneurs, with profiles of their life and work. Produced by the founders of Poketo, an L.A. lifestyle company, this gorgeous offering by Chronicle Books lets you peek into the lives of such creatives as ceramicist Helen Levi, artist Adam J. Kurtz, and DJ Chris Manak, among others, inspiring and influencing your own artistic sensibilities. Highly recommended.
