Paris interiors = intérieurs parisiens

This book shows us around 50 imaginatively conceived apartments and houses, the homes of prominent people, chosen purely for their individuality. These interiors are "mirrors of the soul," showing the personalities of those who live in them. From baroque opulence to cool understatement to colourful exoticism, their style is unforced--these are homes that people live in, not museum pieces. They also document Parisian vogues--for the French thirties and forties, for the furniture of Jean-Michel Frank and Jean Royere, for Diego Giacometti's stucco work, or the design features of the Vienna Secession. This book documents a particularly energetic and fertile moment in one of the world's most beautiful cities. From wicked fun to timeless classicism, everything in this unique book will be an inspiration.--From publisher description.
