Reviews / Votes
I wish this book wasn't so heavy. It is full of such good things that I wanted to carry it around so that at every spare moment I could have another wallow in David Mlinaric's beautiful world. Spectator David Mlinaric's contribution to interior design in the late 20th century is considerable. Whether they are classic or contemporary schemes, his projects are equally accomplished and there are many lessons to be learned from browsing through these pages. idfx This is a tremendous book for anyone interested in country houses or decoration. Large in format, elegant in design, it shows interior decoration at its finest. The lively, detailed text and exacting photography (much newly taken by Derry Moore) illustrate the controlling discipline and industry that define truly great interior design.
