Riassunto

David Linley has achieved international renown as a designer of furniture and accessories that reinterpret and transform traditional styles in a modern way. In his new book his unique, personal and highly successful approach is explained and expanded to encompass interior design generally and show how a wide range of traditional influences can be blended to create new, visually exciting yet harmonious interiors. The book looks at the historical context of various living spaces and traces a journey through the home. Each chapter investigates the way in which these spaces may be adapted to create a variety of visual effects suited to their environment, their owners' taste and the practicalities of modern living. The informative, thought-provoking and entertaining text reflects Linley's personal taste for the unusual as well as traditional approaches to design; the stunning illustrations reflect this appreciation of widely differing styles - including classical architecture, antique furniture, tribal and Oriental artefacts and modern design.
