Interior design, decor & style guides

Summary
Details

Our

homes

are

an

expression

of

how

we

want

to

live;

they

shape

our

everyday

routines

and

fundamentally

affect

our

well-being.

Interior

design

for

the

home

sustains a giant global industry and feeds an entire branch of the media. However, the question of dwelling, or how to live, is found increasingly to be lacking in serious discourse.

This book sets out to review the interior design of our homes. It discusses 20 iconic residential interiors from the present back to the 1920s, by architects and designers such as Assemble, Arno Brandlhuber, Lina Bo Bardi, and Josef Frank and by

artists

such

as

Cecil

Beaton

and

Andy

Warhol.

Including

historic

and

recent

photographs,

drawings

and

plans,

the

book

explores

these

case

studies

as

key

moments

in

the

history

of

the

modern

interior.

Penny

Sparke

provides

a

concise

history of the discipline of interior design, Alice Rawsthorn investigates the role of gender, and Mark Taylor discusses the discourse on interior design in the twenty-first century. Adam Štěch offers insights into the use of colour in residential interiors and Matteo Pirola offers a detailed and richly illustrated chronology of significant events

in

the

history

of

interior

design.

In

a

portfolio

of

photographs

selected

exclusively for this book, Jasper Morrison explores what makes a good interior. In addition

to

interviews

with

contemporary

interior

design

practitioners,

experts

in

the

fields

of

the

sociology

of

living

and

psychology

provide

further

insight.

This

book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in interior design.
