The first book that reveals the history of 20th-century interior design by showcasing the styles and offering the trade secrets of the key decorators and designers who have shaped -- and continue to shape -- today's taste.The art of interior design as we know it emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, and Influential Interiors chronicles the most significant people, styles, and moments in its history. From early stars such as Elsie de Wolfe, Syrie Maugham and Jean-Michel Frank to today's leading practitioners, such as Andree Putman, Peter Marino and Sills & Huniford, biographical details, photographs and explanations of important projects and key designs (e.g. for furniture or fabrics) are supplied and their influence worldwide is discussed. Twenty-four designers are featured in depth; their work, in each case outlined over several spreads, has had a lasting influence on those that followed them. And for six major figures, a full-color scrapbook-like collage breaks down the key elements of the designer's signature style, offering at a glance the types of colors, fabrics, patterns, furniture and accessories that characterize t

This first comprehensive survey of workplace design for the new century, this book captures emerging themes and ideas in office architecture and interiors around the world. Written and researched by the authors of The Creative Office, it advances the concept of increasing creativity in planning and design by exploring the new workplace models that are developing in response to rapid organisational, social and technological change. In the introduction the authors discuss how the new workplace of the 21st century is already exhibiting different spatial, organizational and material characteristics from the scientifically managed, process-driven, mechanistic model of the 20th century modern office. This is followed by four thematic chapters that illustrate the key new trends through 45 international case studies.

In this timely book, author Marcus Fairs helps readers understand the shift of green design from marginal to mainstream by featuring products and buildings that address immediate concerns about global warming and environmental degradation. Through vast architectural projects to modest one-off pieces of salvaged furniture, the book shows how the design world is responding to the environmental challenges of this century. Author Fairs demonstrates key developments in sustainable design as seen in lighting, houseware, furniture, textiles, products, interiors, architecture, and transportation, including the innovative use of fuel-cell technologies and ultra-lightweight materials. The book shows how the introduction of eco-friendly materials is changing the products around us and charts the rise of low-energy lighting sources and their impact on lighting design. Emerging trends in green design are also covered, from recycling (reusing existing objects to create new products) to ethical sourcing (ensuring products come from sustainable sources). By presenting existing green innovations as well as visionary projects, Green Design paints a bright future in which technology and ethics merge for the benefit of people and the planet.
