Description
Interior Design and Identity explores how interior design has evolved as a reflection of culture, from the 18th century to the present day. This collection of case studies examines the role of interior design in relation to the changing identities of its practitioners, inhabitants, and the furnishings themselves. The book considers the contributions of various groups, including amateur home makers, professional interior decorators, and commercial enterprises, to reveal how cultural values have been embedded in the spaces people inhabit and create. By examining the intersections of interiority, gender, and the public sphere, this book opens up a new level of design historical enquiry. Through its chronological arrangement and diverse case studies, Interior Design and Identity provides a fascinating insight into the complex and dynamic nature of interior design.
