Inside - Interiors Of Colour Fabric Glass Light - Kramer Sibylle

. .

Résumé :
Contemporary interior design is largely defined by the creation of diverse spaces that can be experienced with all of the senses. The novel combination of the design elements colour, fabric, glass and light gives birth to dramatic spatial vibrancy, creating interior ambience that ranges from restful to elegant and conjuring up a sense of movement and vitality in residential and working environments. Thus, for example, the particular effectiveness of light - its refraction and concentration, absorption and reflection, colour and rhythm - is effectively made manifest in combination with glass. This illustrated volume opulently presents a unique selection of over 6o notable designed interiors - ranging from private residences to small businesses and major public buildings. Architecte, interior designers and artists demonstrate how the personality of a given space can be decisively formed through an innovative interplay of materials. The projects included here are presented in such a way as to provide the reader with a source both of inspiration and information, taking them on a spectacular tour of the sensuous treasures hidden within these spaces.
