Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of interior design and decoration from the late 19th Century to the present day. The author considers the major styles and movements which have influenced the field and provides numerous examples of furniture, fabrics and decorative arts from different periods. The author argues that the Victorian fascination with medieval architecture led to a revival of traditional crafts and a new appreciation of craftsmanship. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the Arts and Crafts movement and discusses the major figures and ideas associated with it. The book goes on to discuss how these crafts and aesthetics influenced the interior design of the 20th Century. It considers the rise of modernism, the development of mass production and the democratisation of design. The author concludes by suggesting that interior design should be a personal expression of the individual and that the best interiors are those that are both beautiful and functional.
