Tim Gosling is a British interior designer with an international
reputation for designing exquisite interiors and beautifully
crafted furniture for a range of public and private clients.
Classic Contemporary showcases Gosling's recent work and gives the
historical context for his designs, with archive drawings and
photographs of the work of architects and designers whose work he
admires. The book is structured by period, beginning with the
eighteenth century and finishing in the twenty-first. Each chapter
begins with one page that lists the Design Rules, the Materials and
the Leading Figures associated with the era and style. The text of
the chapter discusses key architects and designers, particularly
those who have influenced Tim or whom he admires, and the style
that emerged in that period, illustrated with historical images.
The rest of the chapter consists of an extended plate section
showing Gosling's interiors and furniture with extended captions in
which he comments on the elements of the period's style
incorporated into his work. The final chapter has a discussion and
photographs of the craftsmanship that goes into the production of
the furniture Tim designs. Through these pages, Regency, Victorian,
Art Deco or Modernism can be viewed in a new light, resulting in a
book that provides a unique insight into the work of one of today's
most popular and respected designers.
