Interior Design Since 1900

From the 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement to the present day, and
from Art Nouveau and Bauhaus to hi-tech and green design, every style of
interior design since 1900 is charted in this wide-ranging survey.Design in the 20th century saw an extraordinary evolution, with the
emergence of professional interior designers and the growing appetite to
redesign homes at frequent intervals. In recent decades the focus has
been on sustainable design in public spaces such as offices, factories
and ships. Anne Massey explores these developments in social, political,
economic and cultural contexts. More than 200 illustrations of
interiors from around the world, from William Morris s drawing room to a
21st-century aircraft, reveal the fundamental changes in taste and
style from Art Deco to Pop and from the Streamline Moderne to
Post-Modernism.This volume has been a classic introduction to the subject for almost
thirty years. The new, fourth edition is brought up to date with a
chapter on transnational design, encompassing mid-century modernist work
in Singapore and Sri Lanka as well as very recent interiors for spaces
as varied as luxury hotels in Dubai and a contemporary art museum in
Cape Town. Anne Massey shows how a shared language of design and
cutting-edge technology are reshaping interiors around the globe.Table of Contents1. Reforming Victorian taste 2. The search for a new style 3. The Modern Movement 4. Art Deco and the Moderne 5.
