Book excerpt: The worn, vintage and unfinished look of 'rough luxe' is more than just the masculine side of shabby chic.

Book Synopsis Creating Interior Atmosphere by : Jean Whitehead
Download or read book Creating Interior Atmosphere written by Jean Whitehead and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to explore the creation of interior atmosphere as seen through the lens of mise-en-scène. You will learn how this film theory informs the concept of 'staged space' translated through the narrative and expressive qualities of a particular scene. Jean Whitehead quickly takes this concept beyond the screen and considers its application to the interior 'setting'. By learning to use the ingredients that inform an 'interior' mise-en-scène such as its backdrop, choice of props, use of special effects alongside the application of colour, pattern, graphics, light and shadow, an immersive atmospheric experience can be created. Packed with inspiring examples and case studies, ranging from cinematic interiors and art installations, to the work of notable interior designers, stylists and architects with an interior interest, this book broadens current thinking around the design of the decorated interior. It will help you to embrace the concepts that underpin an interior mise-en- scène through the use of softer decorative techniques and concerns.
Book Synopsis Rough Past Meets New Design by : Chris van Uffelen
Download or read book Rough Past Meets New Design written by Chris van Uffelen and published by Braun Publishing AG. This book was released on 2017 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Buildings and rooms bearing traces of the past that are integrated into new concepts are arousing enthusiasm both within and beyond the design scene. This volume explores the functional and artistic possibilities emerging from revitalization that respects the inherited, often shabby and dilapidated building structures and its fabric. Whether through striking contrast with the new creation or reinterpretation of the existing architecture – or indeed both together – all featured projects are defined by their respectful and thoughtful stance towards the sites they occupy and establish an enthralling relationship between the old and the new."--Page 4 de la couverture.
Download or read book Commune written by Roman Alonso and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Town and Country magazine design pick, a monograph of the work of a California lifestyle and interior design firm, from the company’s founders. Commune was established in Los Angeles in 2004 by four like-minded souls—Roman Alonso, Steven Johanknecht, Pamela Shamshiri, and Ramin Shamshiri—with a common mission: to enhance life through design and to blur the lines between disciplines, eras, and styles. California is for those who refuse to conform and who live for freedom of expression, indoor/outdoor living, and that golden sunshine glinting off the waves of the Pacific. Commune perfectly captures this spirit and embodies a new California style that freely mixes old and new in its layered, highly personal interiors that embrace color, pattern, and texture. This book is the first monograph of Commune’s work, featuring its designs for private residences, hotels, commercial spaces, and restaurants, as well as the works they specially commission from virtually everyone in the artisan craftsman movement in California today. “Heavyweight Champs—Our picks from this year’s tempting crop of design books. Commune highlights work by the Los Angeles design group, known for its bohemian-chic approach to houses, hotels (such as LA’s Ace), and home products.” ―Town & Country Magazine

Download or read book The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design written by Graeme Brooker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.
