Twenty short profiles are presented in the introduction, with a single iconic photograph and a concise, informative text; the interiors are arranged by chronological order, with superb colour photography and texts recounting the stories of these remarkable designs. Representing every style from minimalism and Art Nouveau to Gesamtkunstwerk creations that defy definition, these interiors are elegant compositions that will endure.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The Iconic Interior really does live up to its billing ... these homes are bona fide standard bearers for the styles they represent, whether it's Oscar Niemeyer cresting a wave of West Coast Modernism, Marcel Wanders launching himself into Futurism with his Mallorcan casa, or Coco Chanel tooting the horn for Art Deco in her Paris apartment' - World of Interiors 'Compelling ... no serious interiors enthusiast should be without it' - Sunday Telegraph 'A thumping tome that explores the evolution of extraordinary homes around the world, from around 1900 to the present' - BBC Culture 'Remarkable craftsmanship, animated essays, unique compositions and vibrant photography' - Wallpaper
