The senses in interior design examines how sight, touch, smell,
hearing and taste have been mobilised within various forms of
interiors. The chapters explore how the body navigates and
negotiates the realities of designed interiors and challenge the
traditional focus on star designers or ideal interiors that have
left sensorial agency at the margins of design history. From the
sensually gendered role of the fireplace in late sixteenth century
Italy to the synaesthetic décors of Comte Robert de Montesquiou
and the sensorial stimuli of Aesop stores, each chapter brings a
new perspective on the central role that the senses have played in
the conception, experiences and uses of interiors. -- .
