David Stark Design - Rilegato

"The scale and visual impact of David Stark’s installations rival those by many contemporary artists at the Whitney Biennial or any Chelsea gallery."
—David Byrne

"To do what David does, he has to be a consummate politician, a shrink, an accountant, and a brilliant visual artist, with the unshakable calm of a Zen master. He is all that and more. He has great taste, a fabulous sense of humor, and is blessed with an uncanny sixth sense about how to present an event so that everyone knows when they walk in the door that they are in for an unforgettable experience."
—Glenn Close

"When we asked David to help plan and design HuffPost’s Pre-Inaugural Gala in Washington D.C., a free-wheeling party for over 3,000 of our closest friends, we knew we were setting the bar high. He more than cleared it. His innovative visual ideas and elegant designs were magical. He brings the same creativity and passion to this stylish new book."
—Arianna Huffington

"Stark is known for creating the most glamorous, imaginative and over-the-top events . . . David Stark Design, takes a look at 30 of the most unique and stunning events David has executed since he started his company in 2005 and uses imagery to illustrate the design philosophies and creative process that has made him one of the world's most sought after event designers."

"If you’re looking for party inspiration (or major eye candy), this is the book to pick up . . . no two events are alike."
—HGTV.com

"One finds benefit parties decorated with drifting tendrils of paint strips or else walls upholstered in Post-its or centerpieces constructed from 18,000 donated pencils later to be passed along to schoolchildren. One finds 6,000 tons of recycled waste paper used to create fantasy décors. One does, that is, if David Stark is involved . . . David Stark Design [is] a just-published monograph about Mr. Stark’s forays into the New York night."
—The New York Times
