Synopsis

'A stimulating, introductory dip into the mainstream (and significant off-beat) interior design styles of the last century' House & Garden

From the Arts and Crafts movement to the present day - including discussions of Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, the Modern Movement and Art Deco through to Hi-Tech and green design - every style of interior since 1900 is charted in this concise, wide-ranging and indispensable critical survey.

Interior design in the twentieth century saw many changes in direction, all documented here, with the emergence of professional ‘interior decoration’ and its evolution into interior design. Interiors, domestic and other, are explored and placed within their social, political, economic and cultural context.

The book also includes a chapter on sustainable design, focusing on public spaces such as hotels, offices, factories and shops.
