The Basics Interior Design series comprises a collection of titles
examining the application of interior design principles to
different types of space. Packed with cutting-edge examples and
fully illustrated with clear diagrams and inspiring imagery, they
offer an essential introduction to the subject. This second edition
of Retail Design examines the latest developments in the
contemporary retail design sector worldwide. It guides the reader
step by step through the retail design process, providing
strategies that can produce a successful retail space and a design
that is appropriate for the brand, product, consumer and retailer.
A new chapter exploring consumer behaviour is combined with clear
explanations of branding and identity, to provide the starting
point for the design concept. The relationship between the interior
and its context, site and setting is then examined, alongside
in-depth investigations of layout, circulation and pace and other
design considerations. Fully updated with new international case
studies and expanded coverage on sustainability, interactivity, and
innovative design concepts - this new edition of Retail Design
offers cutting-edge insights into the practice of contemporary
retail design and shows designers how to meet and exceed the
expectations of today's clients and consumers.
Suzanne Kasler is known for her classically inspired rooms, pretty
palettes, and comfortable spaces. She brings Southern charm,
European sensibility, and a respect for architectural details to
her interiors. Her neutral palette, spiced with hits of color,
creates warm spaces that are elegant yet inviting. Inspired by
fashion, Kasler uses a scarf as a throw, adds grosgrain or satin
banding to the bottom of a chair cover, accents draperies with
Chanel-like piped borders, or embellishes a bed frame with delicate
handpainted patterns. It is these exquisite haute couture details
that drive her design aesthetic. Kasler's melange of antiques,
midcentury pieces, and modern furniture makes her layered interiors
attractive and livable. Lavishly illustrated, this beautiful volume
showcases a range of Kasler's projects, from a luxurious Georgian
mansion in Atlanta's Buckhead to a sophisticated farmhouse in
Tennessee and a beach house in Watersound, Florida. Offering a
wealth of original design ideas that are refreshing and full of
verve, Timeless Style is a welcome addition to any library of
interior design books.
Wunderkammern are showing up everywhere these days. Design
webshops, expos, interior design stores: they all try to bring back
the memory of the century-old tradition of Wunderkammer, or 'the
Cabinet of Curiosities'. This book is a Wunderkammer in itself,
showcasing the most beautiful exotica, which explorers and
adventurous merchants brought back from all over the world for rich
collectors. Be amazed by beautiful seashells, stuffed animals,
sculptured ostrich eggs, botanical drawings, 'dragons' preserved in
formaldehyde, and bewildering Indiana Jones-like stories. A
fascinating New World presented itself to them, and in this book,
you'll see it through their eyes.
Planners, architects, and designers can have a great impact on
living environments and well-being. Well-being is a natural outcome
of natural living, but it is important to realize that a real and
comprehensive understanding of well-being can only be achieved
through the continuity of the concept to all environmental scales
starting from the biosphere and leading towards interiors. Since
interior space is one of the most important determinants of our
everyday experiences, its role in well-being as a conscious
construct needs to be the most important concern of spatial design.
Well-Being Design and Frameworks for Interior Space is a pivotal
reference source that proposes a framework including different
dimensions of well-being and that discusses the importance of each
dimension through the examination of past and present living
environments in an attempt to figure out the appropriate ways of
thinking, living, and building that can lead to healthier
environments and happier people. Factors discussed throughout the
book include the history of the concept of living well, the
evolution of well-being with age, the requirements that affect
well-being, the potentials of certain design approaches for
well-being, the existing environments (such as vernacular
structures, heritage buildings) with specific advantages for
well-being, changes in well-being requirements, interior
environments with different functions (such as schools and home
environments), and the intersections of interior design with other
design disciplines. This book is ideally designed for architects,
interior designers, planners, engineers, administrators,
policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students.
"In the following pages the Author has placed before the reader an
account of the changes in the design of Decorative Furniture and
Woodwork, from the earliest period of which we have any reliable or
certain record until the present time. A careful selection of
illustrations has been made, and the representations of the
different interiors will convey an idea of the character and
disposition of the furniture of the periods to which they refer."
Contains chapters on Roman furniture, the Renaissance Period and
its variations throughout Europe, Asian furniture, and many more.
Originally released in 1892.
