Moderne: fashioning the French interior

Uittreksel

"When it first appeared, the gout moderne, or modern taste, was marketed through limited-edition portfolios containing unbound drawings, printed in full color using a traditional process called pochoir. Moderne present the finest examples of this work in more than two hundred plates, faithfully reproduced to preserve their original color palettes. With the inclusion of designers' biographies and a brief bibliography, this work forms an indispensable reference for historians as well as an inspirational resource for designers and architects."--BOOK JACKET.
