181 Fremont Toasts Author-Designer Kendall Wilkinson at Festive Book Launch

On June 4, interior designer Kendall Wilkinson celebrated the launch of her new book, Beauty All Around, with an intimate private soirée high above San Francisco at the model penthouse she designed at 181 Fremont — the very same space that graces her new book’s cover. Partygoers enjoyed Mediterranean-style appetizers and generous pours of bubbly, while enveloped in Wilkinson’s elegant aesthetic.

Glasses were raised as the sun set over the Bay, with the author’s friends, clients and closest collaborators toasting to celebrate a book that invites readers into Wilkinson’s world of luxuriously appointed, yet highly personal, interiors. The book reflects Wilkinson’s uniquely collaborative approach, where the character of the house reflects its occupants’ own passions and interests. As she signed books that night, Wilkinson was sure to speak to each guest in turn, further proof of her communal approach to design–and to life.
