About this title

Synopsis

Modelled on "Surfaces" (published 1996), this collection of photographs catalogues how hundreds of varieties of textiles, grouped by structure and surface treatment, look up close and in interior and exterior applications, such as window treatments, upholstery, awnings, tents and floor coverings. The book is tailored to research needs in scope and focus, offering examples for architects, interior designers, theatrical and film designers, illustrators and graphic designers. Interviews with professionals describe how they use visual research in their work. The accompanying CD-ROM also provides images of the textiles.
