Benjamin Johnston Excited About Release of His First Book
While Benjamin Johnston’s main focuses may be interior design and his firm, Benjamin Johnston Design in Houston, he’s also an artist, teacher and tastemaker.
And, mostly recently, he added author to the list with the release of his first book, “Refined Interiors: Timeless Homes for Modern Living” by Rizzoli.
“It was fun writing the book and putting into words what hadn’t really existed in conversation, thought or in process in the office,” he says, “and be able to crystalize and articulate what we did. It was a worthwhile experience.”
In this debut book with Rizzoli, Johnston unveils eight recently completed residences that embody his distinctive aesthetic and design philosophies.
“Our entire industry thrives on collaboration, and I’m really excited to be able to have this book that is really a reflection of the incredible contractors, artisans, craftsman and vendors that we had the privilege to work with throughout this process and be able to have something tangible to really show for all that wonderful experience and collaboration together,” he adds.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Johnston recently to learn more about his design background and his passion for creativity.
