Inspired Design: The Most Important Designers of the Past 100 Years, Expanded Edition

Who are the interior designers everyone needs to know? Who changed how we live? Now updated, here is the whole story of interior design in one book - all the greats and what can be learned from them Unlike most decorating books that focus on one designer, one period, or one trend, this highly acclaimed volume, now expanded and updated, provides the big picture: ALL the names everybody must know from the entire 100-year-plus history of interior design, including: The Big Six, A Century of Women, The Influencers, The Americans, The English Masters, The Globalists, The Grandees, The New Voices. Each designer is profiled and illustrated with three to four photographs of their best work. What we can learn from them—and how they changed decorating forever—is clearly highlighted to catch the eye. Any list of interior designers is personal. Agree or disagree. Love it or challenge it. But Inspired Design is the starting point for everybody who loves interior design—and the one book every design library must have.
