Interior Provocations: History, Theory, and Practice of Autonomous
Interiors addresses the broad cultural, historical, and theoretical
implications of interiors beyond their conventionally defined
architectural boundaries. With provocative contributions from
leading and emerging historians, theorists, and design
practitioners, the book is rooted in new scholarship that expands
traditional relationships between architecture and interiors and
that reflects the latest theoretical developments in the fields of
interior design history and practice. This collection contains
diverse case studies from the late eighteenth century to the
twenty-first century including Alexander Pope's Memorial Garden,
Design Indaba, and Robin Evans. It is an essential read for
researchers, practitioners, and students of interior design at all
levels.
This book brings together contributions from scholars from
intersecting disciplines. Arguing that we are witnessing a paradigm
shift concerning the place of historic spaces and museums in the
contemporary imaginary, the volume shows that such institutions are
merging traditional scholarly activities tied to historical
representation and inquiry with novel modes of display and
interpretation, drawing them closer to the world of entertainment
and interactive consumption. The book concludes that museums and
historic sites are reinventing themselves, in order to remain
meaningful and to play a role in societies aspiring to be more
inclusive and open to historical and cultural debate. This book
will be of interest to students and faculty who are engaged in the
study of museums, art history, architectural and design history,
social and cultural history, interior design, visual culture, and
material culture.
Appropriated Interiors uncovers the ways interiors participate
explicitly and implicitly in embedded cultural and societal values
and explores timely emergent scholarship in the fields of interior
design history, theory, and practice. What is "appropriate" and
"inappropriate" now? These are terms with particular interest to
the study of the interior. Featuring thirteen original curated
essays, Appropriated Interiors explores the tensions between
normative interiors that express the dominant cultural values of a
society and interiors that express new, changing, and even
transgressive values. With case studies from the late eighteenth
century to the twenty-first century, these historians, theorists,
and design practitioners investigate the implications of interior
design as it relates to politics, gender, identity, spatial
abstraction, cultural expression, racial expression, technology,
and much more. An informative read for students and scholars of
design history and theory, this collection considers the standards,
assumptions, codes, and/or conventions that need to be dismantled
and how we can expand our understanding of the history, theory, and
practice of interior design to challenge the status quo.

The nineteenth century - the Era of the Interior - witnessed the
steady displacement of art from the ceilings, walls, and floors of
aristocratic and religious interiors to the everyday spaces of
bourgeois households, subject to their own enhanced ornamentation.
Following the 1863 Salon des refuses, the French State began to
channel mediocre painters into the decorative arts. England, too,
launched an extensive reform of the decorative arts, resulting in
more and more artists engaged in the production and design of
complete interiors. America soon followed. Present art historical
scholarship - still indebted to a modernist discourse that sees
cultural progress to be synonymous with the removal of ornament
from both utilitarian objects and architectural spaces - has not
yet acknowledged the importance of the decorative arts in the
myriad interior spaces of the 1800s. Nor has mainstream art history
reckoned with the importance of the interior in nineteenth-century
life and thought. Aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, including
art and design historians, historians of the modern interior,
interior designers, visual culture theorists, and scholars of
nineteenth-century material culture, this collection of essays
studies the modern interior in new ways. The volume addresses the
double nature of the modern interior as both space and image,
blurring the boundaries between arts and crafts, decoration and
high art, two-dimensional and three-dimensional design,
trompe-l'oeil effects and spatial practices. In so doing, it
redefines the modern interior and its objects as essential
components of modern art.

Through an international range of case studies from the 1870s to
the present, this volume analyzes strategies of display in
department stores and modern retail spaces. Established scholars
and emerging researchers working within a range of disciplinary
contexts and historiographical traditions shed light on what
constitutes modern retail and the ways in which interior designers,
architects, and artists have built or transformed their practice in
response to the commercial context.

This book explores the beginnings of the interior design profession
in nineteenth-century France. Drawing on a wealth of visual
sources, from collecting and advice manuals to pattern books and
department store catalogues, it demonstrates how new forms of print
media were used to 'sell' the idea of the unified interior as a
total work of art, enabling the profession of interior designer to
take shape. In observing the dependence of the trades on the
artistic and public visual appeal of their work, Interior
decorating in nineteenth-century France establishes crucial links
between the fields of art history, material and visual culture, and
design history. -- .

Designing the French Interior traces France's central role in the
development of the modern domestic interior, from the
pre-revolutionary period to the 1970s, and addresses the importance
of various media, including drawings, prints, pattern books,
illustrated magazines, department store catalogs, photographs,
guidebooks, and films, in representing and promoting French
interior design to a wider audience. Contributors to this original
volume identify and historicize the singularity of the modern
French domestic interior as a generator of reproducible images, a
site for display of both highly crafted and mass-produced objects,
and the direct result of widely-circulated imagery in its own
right. This important volume enables an invaluable new
understanding of the relationship between architecture, interior
spaces, material cultures, mass media and modernity.
