Description
This popular book in the bestselling 'Way We Live' series - a visually thrilling exploration of the way people around the world live with colour - is now available in an elegant compact edition. Divided into five main sections, the book showcases Gilles de Chabaneix's eye for the telling use of colour in interiors in a multitude of places and cultures, from startling coastal blues to the subtle monochromes of minimalist urban styles, from the sumptuous and grand reds and purples of palatial dwellings to the sunlit yellows of country life. Every opportunity to make cross-cultural comparisons and connections is taken within this book to provide a truly international vision of the ways in which lifestyles are reflected in colour.
