This fascinating collection provides a chronologically arranged set
of case studies looking at how interior design has constantly
redefined itself as a manifestation of culture, from the
eighteenth-century to the present day. The book looks at the
amateur activities of female 'home makers' in search of creative
outlets and married couples seeking to modernise their homes as
well as the contributions of early professional (female) 'interior
decorators', and later, (male) 'interior designers'. It also
considers the more anonymous role of commercial enterprises, such
as hairdressing salons, ocean-going liners or modern offices as
well as public institutions, such as hospitals or naval training
establishments. Interior design and identity examines interior
design in relation to the changing identities of its practitioners,
its inhabitants and of the furnishings, focussing on the ways in
which cultural values came to be embedded in the spaces which
people inhabited and made their own. Issues relating to
interiority, gender, and the relationship of the public sphere are
also considered opening up a new level of design historical
enquiry. -- .
