Description
Design historian and critic Penny Sparke provides a persuasive account of the forces, conflicts and debates that have underpinned the emergence of something we now effortlessly refer to as 'the modern interior'. She deftly unravels the shift from Victorian to modern style, and demonstrates that the easy transition so frequently portrayed is little more than a mythology. Crucially, she shows that, unlike designed buildings and artefacts, the fixed idea of the 'interior' has only ever existed in an idealised form, promoted through exhibitions, retail contexts and the mass media.
The Modern Interior offers fascinating and eloquent insights into the work of many well-known designers, from C. R. Mackintosh, Adolf Loos, Josef Frank, Frank Lloyd Wright, Marcel Breuer, Lily Reich, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Charles and Ray Eames, to Florence Knoll, Philippe Starck, John Pawson and Norman Foster.
