Description
A guide to the 20th-century's key interior decorators and designers who have shaped - and continue to shape - today's taste. From early stars such as Elsie de Wolfe, Syrie Maugham and Jean-Michel Frank through to Nina Campbell and Philippe Starck, biographical details, photographs and explanations of important projects and key designs are supplied, and their influence worldwide discussed. Twenty-six are featured in depth: their work, in each case showcased over several spreads, has had a lasting impact on those that followed them. The text includes quotes from the designers, and personal anecdotes from their associates and taste-makers of the day.
