Empire, the sleek, rich style of the Napoleonic era, is at the heart of the revival of classical themes in interior design. This work celebrates the legacy of objects left by this style - from couches to cabinets, wall hangings to murals, and silverwork to porcelain - and shows how these classic forms can be reused in today's homes, whether an elegant salon or a minimalist structure of glass and steel. The final chapter illustrates interior styles by designers such as Michael Graves, John Saladino and Bob Patino to show the limitless possibilities of the neoclassic style.

GREAT HISTORY, BAD DECOR IDEAS
30 Oct 2009

The history on the style of the neoclassical elements and its political influence is very interesting. The photos, however, are from the 1980's and sadly reflect it...too dated for the 21st century home. If the book were to be updated showing us more true period pieces mixed in with 21st century settings, it would be perfect.

I am new to Neoclassic design but I must say that this book is a good inspiration. It is a great price for what it is and definetly better than Hollywood redux.

Small Gem on Neoclassic!
13 Jun 2012
By P. Scibilia
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is full beautiful pictures of interiors with gorgeous pieces of furniture, but I wouldn't refer to them as "Neoclassical". What the publication mostly focuses on is Empire, Regency, and Biedermeier styles, not Louis XVI which I consider pure Neoclassic style. In spite of this the book is quite useful and has some very good over-veiw information for the average reader.
