Description

A global and historical tour de force of interior design, this book explores the development of design from prehistoric cave paintings to the present. It looks at art from all parts of the world including India, China, Japan, Egypt, Spain, Italy, North and South America. It looks at how fashion has influenced interior design, the relationship between interior and exterior design and how developments in technologies and materials have influenced design trends. The pages are brought to life with excellent quality illustrations that demonstrate the variety of design styles and techniques presented.
