Fassett's embroidered flower gardens, frog cushions, trompe l'oiel flower plates and postage stamp lampshades teeter spectacularly on the knife-edge separating genius from schizophrenia; his text, meanwhile, with all the honeyed reasonableness of the clearly mad, really makes the reader think--in a way few other books have ever done--about the emotional power of the richly patterned traditions of eastern Europe and the Indian subcontinent. Fassett contends that Western interiors--the best of them evoking "a sterile beigeness ... that chilled me to the core"--have lost all sense of humour. And he knows just what we need to get it back ...
Glorious Interiors is full of lengthy, meticulous instructions for jaw-dropping rag-rugs, collage screens, mosaics and many other pieces. Whether inspiring you or scaring you half to death, Fassett is one interior designer it is impossible to ignore. --Simon Ings
Here he updates the classic patchwork quilt to include designs reminiscent of, for example, Klimt; there are seven other titles available from Ebury to cover every taste and style – Mosaics, Kaffe’s Classics, Glorious Interiors, Glorious Inspiration, Glorious Knitting, Glorious Needlepoint and Kaffe Fassett’s Family Album.
