Perched on the Pacific Ocean with views of Honolulu’s Diamond Head, Shangri La, the Hawaiian estate of the heiress Doris Duke (1912-1993), is a visionary fantasia that melds a modern sense of form with the tropical landscape, as well as art and decorative elements from throughout the Islamic world. To accompany a traveling exhibition about this unique property and its collections, Pentagram designed Doris Duke’s Shangri La: A House in Paradise, a catalogue published by Rizzoli.

The book features the full portfolio of Tim Street-Porter’s new photographs of the complex, as well as archival documents and historical photographs related to the development of the house and collection. The book opens with a perforated page inspired by the jali screens of the house, and the cover is debossed for a sense of texture.
