Interior design since 1900

Every style of interior since 1900 is charted in this concise, wide-ranging and indispensable critical survey – 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. 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. First published in 1990 as Interior Design of the 20th Century, this new and expanded edition is brought up to date with a chapter on sustainable design, focusing on public spaces such as hotels, offices, factories and shops.
