Synopsis

This elegantly produced compact desk-and-field reference combines unprecedented depth of content with unparalleled ease of use, making it the only book of its kind that will be indispensable to both the home style-conscious layperson and the seasoned design professional. Each of the book's thirty-two color-coded featured styles are presented in concise texts that present the history of the particular style and a detailed discussion of its hallmarks, followed by a bullet-pointed list of typical characteristics that one should be aware of, a meticulously chosen selection of striking representative images (soft and hard furnishings), and a characteristic color palette and fabric swatch. Further distinguishing this volume is its unprecedented consideration of the various sub-styles of the Modern period, including International Style, Midcentury Modern, Italian Modern, Scandinavian Modern, and Sixties Style - what are today the trendiest of all the period styles.
