Summary This book "takes the reader on a global tour of the best and most provocative interiors of the past 25 years, from apartments and houses to shops, restaurants, offices, hotels, and a variety of public places. Author Susan Yelavich, a New York-based curator and critic, documents some 450 projects by renowned figures, including Philippe Starck, John Pawson, and Zaha Hadid, as well as rising stars such as the Campana Brothers, Marcel Wanders, LOT-EK, SANAA, and Atelier Bow-Wow. The projects represent an overview of the dominant currents interior architecture and design around the world, in countries as far ranging as Russia, Israel, Chile, South Korea, and South Africa, as well as more familiar locales in Europe, Japan, and the United States. Today's intriors are marked by an eclecticism that reflects this geographic diversity. During the past three decades, all types of interiors - from the minimal loft to the once antiseptic hospital room - reveal a renowed interest in ornament, craft and materiality, and spatial complexities." - book jacket
