More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
By the time of the Paris exhibition of 1925 from which Art Deco took its name, the idea that an interior and its furnishings should form a complete design - a "total look" - dominated the thinking of both designers and their clients. Studios began to emerge to serve the needs of a design and style-conscious middle-class. This text displays the flourishing design ingenuity through contemporary photographs and illustrations of selected interiors complemented with modern photographs of individual pieces. It traces the sylistic evolution and dominant motifs of Deco, the triumph of the 1925 exhibition and the pure "high style" of the Paris ensembliers; the growth of Streamline Moderne offshoots in the US; the international revival of Deco as a decorative style for a new generation of post-modern designers; and the restoration of many Art Deco interiors to their original state.

Beautiful book,
This review is from: Art Deco Interiors: Decoration and Design Classics of the 1920s and 1930s (Paperback)
I bought this as a complete newcomer to the subject area and have found it a good read. Each section is covered in detailed text followed by plenty of drawings, photographs and prints.
My only criticism is that it is a bit heavy on just listing names of designers without giving any background of them, their styles or what they contributed to the genre. Feels a bit like you might be reading a 1930's 'Hello' magazine than an informed book. Pretty enough as a starting point though.

Being an Art Deco lover for a lot of years (guess what, I'm a wrinkly) I found this publication fascinating
and am still ploughing throuh it in easy stages, enjoying every minute. Not everyones's taste of course but it gives the impression of quality which many of today's products don't. Sorry if this makes me sound like a grumpy old man - I am. Only problem: it weighs about half a ton and is a bugger to read in bed...
