Octopus imprint Conran Octopus will publish a series of books from Condé Nast’s House Garden magazine.

Octopus publisher Alison Sterling signed world rights in a deal with Julian Alexander at LAW.

The books will be curated and written by Catriona Gray, books editor at House Garden, and draw upon the magazine’s archives of photography, illustration and writing. The first book will focus on 1950s style, with Sir Terence Conran writing the foreword.

Starling said: “It is hugely exciting to have access to House Garden’s archive of iconic interiors images. We’ve worked closely with Catriona and the House Garden team to capture in the book the flair, innovative design style – and humour – of the magazine during the 1950s.”

Susan Crewe, editor of House Garden, said: “House Garden is shorthand for stylish living, and its influence and impact have been in evidence for decades. For over 65 years, the magazine has had unparalleled access to the most stylish and well-designed homes in the world. This series will reveal the best of these stunning interiors, decade by decade.”

House and Garden was first published in 1947 and has a current readership of 694,000.

House Garden Fifties House will be published by Conran Octopus at £30 hardback.
