Pointed Leaf Press was founded in 2002 by Suzanne Slesin. As a publisher of high quality, photography-driven monographs on personalities (some well-known, some undiscovered) from the worlds of design, architecture, and fashion, we have made it our goal to create books that stand out, both for their unique content and matchless design quality. A book from Pointed Leaf Press is a book like none other. They are visual biographies that envelop and expound – open any of our titles and become immersed in a world re-created on page in extraordinary depth and detail. Intensely researched and illuminated by new photography, each monograph instantly establishes itself as the subject’s authoritative source-book. We have been fortunate to work with a wide list of phenomenally gifted collaborators. With art direction by Stafford Cliff and Sam Shahid, contributions from Yves Saint Laurent and Tom Ford, and titles authored by design legends such as Vladimir Kagan, as well as such note-worthy contemporary designers as William Diamond and Anthony Baratta, Scott Sanders, Matthew White, Sherrill Canet, and Frank Roop, our catalog bears the mark of authority from the design world.

From San Francisco to Bora Bora, Milan to Dubai, we design beautiful and functional spaces where people live or stay.

BAMO designs elegant and functional spaces where people live or stay.  Spanning 20 countries on 5 continents, our residential and hospitality portfolios includes luxury houses, condominiums, hotels, resorts, restaurants, spas, and the occasional superyacht.

Each BAMO project is purposely planned, each design is distinctive.  We don’t have a signature look; instead having style is our hallmark.

We understand space and how it’s used, especially at the luxury level.  Comfortable scale, appropriate materials, well-considered details, and flattering lighting underpin all of our designs.  By responding to our client’s wishes and the context of the property, we are able to design with integrity and at a level that resonates with people from all corners of the world.

Our firm, our team, and our projects have been honored with numerous awards, including Gold Key Designer of the Year and the induction of our founders into the illustrious Platinum Circle.
