Interior design by Stephanie Thatenhorst – with texts by Valerie Präkelt. For a whole year, this very special project was developed behind the scenes with great dedication and passion. Alongside ongoing interior projects, classic PR and marketing work, countless photo shoots took place, intensive text work was done together with author Valerie Präkelt, and innumerable creative decisions were made.

LOVE & PASSION is the result of a process that demanded—and was shaped by—time, energy, love, and devotion. This is precisely where the title was born. The book offers a deeply personal insight into 20 of Stephanie Thatenhorst’s most striking projects. Across more than 200 pages, it reveals how extraordinary living environments are created—through the perfect interplay of materials, colors, light, and a distinctive design signature.

The book is complemented by numerous sidekicks in the form of insightful guest contributions from renowned experts—the so-called Experts—covering topics such as lighting design, the art of upholstery, as well as Deep Dives on subjects like the impact of color or the bar cart. These contributions open up exciting perspectives and provide in-depth knowledge on multisensory design.

More than a classic Interior Book

LOVE & PASSION is an invitation to rethink your own home – inspiring for design enthusiasts, creatives, and anyone who wants to shape spaces with personality.
