Lifestyles Today: Interior Design Around the World
Chris van Uffelen
From the seating furniture via the wall design to the orientation of the bed to the window, all of this provides information about the inhabitants on the most diverse levels. Wood or stainless steel, filigree plants, pink lampshades – or even the motorbike next to the fridge – make very different statements about the self-image and the sought-after external image of the residents. This book celebrates life in all its diversity through magnificent interiors.
The core topic for Chris van Uffelen is the transfer of knowledge about design in all its manifestations. For more than twenty years the Dutch-German art historian has been publishing books as well as countless essays and articels on art, architecture, interior design and urban planning from antiquity to the present.
