steven spielberg
architect: naomi leff interior design. reenie selected books for steven spielbergs library
building type+location: luxury weekend house in california, usa
invisible elements:
- steven spielberg, the client, commissioned music consultants to select his music, food consultants to select his food, and interior designers to select his furniture and fittings, right down to 20 guest bathrobes, slippers and ballpoint pens.
- my role was to select $6,000 worth of books in 3 hours. equipped with a limousine, a driver, a credit card, and a photograph of spielbergs long island library, i set off. i noticed a book entitled ‘the nazis’, and bought 3 or 4 more similar titles such as ‘the third reich’. i like to think i may have influenced his decision to make the screenplay ‘schindlers list’ a few years later.
- my dream of meeting steven spielberg was never fulfilled.
- the drawings and images cannot be displayed for contractual reasons
