Gorgeous book on the power of single color “ ˜oomph’ in interior spaces, especially well presented here as the same room is used in several different incarnations. Also set against a discussion of color per se in our cities, our lives, our dyed hair and the art we choose. Beautiful views of city apartments, country cottages, and travel to the colorful marketplaces and villas of the Mediterranean. Great book for anyone who likes interior design or decorating.

Engage in the world of Karin and Carl Larsson and come to understand an integral part of the Swedish aesthetic. Through biographical inquiry blended with an investigation into his artwork, Rydin exposes the powerful influence that Carl Larsson’s interiors have had on Swedish decor.

A book about space: the space found within 20th century houses. It is both about the actual rooms within select works of the period and the conceptual space that these works delineate in relation to one another. This book is illustrated throughout with examples from houses by both renowned and lesser known architects such as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Josef Frank, J.J.P. Oud, Ernst May, R.M.Schindler, Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, Gunnar Asplund and Adolf Loos. These houses all share a unique characteristic in that they make use of regional traditions or express a mannerism within the modern. In this way, they are modern houses with an inheritance, with room for a composite of sentimental values.

The author explores every facet of the modern - from architecture to furniture to home design. In a Who’s Who of modern design style, he then lists all of its greatest practitioners chronologically. From the Art Nouveau style of Gaudi to the classicism of Michale Graces, all of the sub-styles that fall under the umbrella of “ œmodern“ are finally demystified. This book ventures beyond the interiors of lavish homes to showcase club and restuarant decor, furniture, product design, and textiles. It also features the apartments and homes of the designers and architects themselves, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of these celebrated creators. Succinct introductions to each individual designer or architect’s mission set the work in the context of related fields, such as fashion or graphic design, for a view of the real-world impact of the modern. Includes among many Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Rudolp Schindler, Richard Neutra, Antoni Gaudi, Elliel Saarinen Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, Arne Jacobsen, John Lautner, Verner Panton, Staffan Berglund, Jack Lenor Larsen.
