Designing Liners: A History of Interior Design Afloat covers the
interior design of these floating palaces from the mid-nineteenth
century to the twenty-first century. In this new edition, the
design heritage of the ocean liner is also explored in this age of
a growing holiday cruise market. The book offers the first history
and analysis of this highly significant aspect of the design of
interiors, which mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about
national identity, gender, class, and ethnicity. The interiors of
ocean liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and
shifting patterns of globalization. The trajectory of the
professionalization of interior design is the connecting narrative
of the book, from the local decorating firm to the internationally
renowned architect. It is an important addition to interior design
research and takes this transitory building type as its subject.
This book provides the first survey of the transient history of
interior design in relation to the development of passenger
shipping. The history of these great ship interiors is tracked,
from their commissioning by the line owners; the materials,
methods, and sources for the initial creation; their construction;
their use; and their reception. The demise and re-purposing of the
interiors is also covered in this new edition, with additional
material on the South African Union Castle and P & O Lines.
Drawing on a broad range of original research, Anne Massey's
approach combines interior design studies, design history,
architectural history, and maritime studies. The new edition has
been carefully designed to include black and white and colour
illustrations.
