From the 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement to the present day,and from Art Nouveau and Bauhaus to hi-tech and green design,every style of interior design since 1900 is charted in this wide-ranging survey. Design in the 20th century saw an extraordinary evolution,with the emergence of professional interior designers and the growing appetite to redesign homes at frequent intervals. In recent decades the focus has been on sustainable design in public spaces such as offices,factories and ships. Anne Massey explores these developments in social,political,economic and cultural contexts. More than 200 illustrations of interiors from around the world,from William Morris's drawing room to a 21st-century aircraft,reveal the fundamental changes in taste and style from Art Deco to Pop and from the Streamline Moderne to Post-Modernism.
