Designer: David Hicks

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Written by his son Ashley Hicks, “David Hicks: a life of design” is a richly-illustrated survey of the designer’s career. Ashley Hicks has had unprecedented access to Hicks’ archives, personal photos, journals, and scrapbooks, and he has produced a monograph that leaves the reader with an understanding of the atmospheric, regal oases that Hicks spent his life working to create.

David Hicks was the designer behind the bold patterned hexagonal patterned carpet in Kubrick’s The Shining.
