Interior Design Masters contains 300 biographical entries of people
who have significantly impacted design. They are the people,
historical and contemporary, that students and practitioners should
know. Coverage starts in the late Renaissance, with a focus on the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book has five sections,
with the entries alphabetical in each, so it can serve as a history
textbook and a reference guide. The seventeeth- and
eighteenth-century section covers figures from Thomas Chippendale
to Horace Walpole. The nineteenth-century section includes William
Morris and Candace Wheeler. The early twentieth-century section
presents modernism's design heroes, including Marcel Breuer, Eileen
Gray, and Gilbert Rohde. The post-World War II designers range from
Madeleine Castaing to Raymond Loewy. The final contemporary section
includes Ron Arad and the Bouroullec brothers. These are the
canonical figures who belong to any design history. The book also
contains less well-known figures who deserve attention, such as
Betty Joel, the British art deco furniture designer; Paul
Veysseyre, the Frenchman active in China in the 1930s; and more
recently Lanzavecchia-Wai, the Italian-Singaporean duo whose work
ranges from health care to helicopters. Global in its coverage, the
book is richly illustrated with over 600 black-and-white and color
photographs.
