Written by the former creative director of Metropolitan Home magazine, Linda O'Keeffe, new coffee table book Brilliant: White in Design (Monacelli Press, 2011) aims to explore the power of the colour using examples from across interiors, art, architecture and nature.

Due for publication this Friday, the book includes more than 250 photographs and explores work from, among many others, Zaha Hadid, Rachel Whiteread, Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

HBL loves: the clarifying effect of the colour used in block shades. Subscribers can remind themselves of our June colour report, White on white, for further inspiration.
