Summary

Featuring an array of dwellings selected from around the world - from the glass skyscrapers of Saint Petersburg, to the buildings of Rome, to the sunny shores of California - The Big Book of Interior Design is entirely devoted to the harmonious relationships between the many design elements that populate and inter-connect our private spaces.

Places that are a mirror of the soul, that reflect individual taste and character but are an inward expression of the outside world and the forces that shape it.

A complete and beautifully made book featuring an elegant graphic layout, that does not just systematize, by way of a critical analysis based on style, the many stylistic inspirations that make up the daily scenario of living; rather its aim is to offer practical ideas to the architect, the designer, the family wishing to renovate their home and to all of those in search of inspired interiors.

Modern, Vintage, Minimal, Surrealist, Pop, Mediterranean and Oriental styles are given a critical and historical analysis; there is also a focus on the key objects of a particular style, not just the functional pieces such as lamps, mirrors, carpets and sofas, but also decorative objects and accessories. A universe of objects that revolve around the physiognomy of a characteristically identified space.
