About this ebook

First published in Paris as Decoration Moderne dans l'Interieur, this rare 1935 portfolio of full-color plates reflects the influence of Art Deco modernism on architects and interior designers. Designs for every space include living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, terraces, artists' studios, and other settings. Equally eye-catching are the lighting, chairs, tables, beds, bookcases, desks, accessories, and other furniture along with floor and wall treatments and additional elements of modernist interior design.
Captions identify the creator of every design, and the book includes a translation of the original Introduction and a new Publisher's Note. This splendid collection of authentic, hard-to-find designs will provide a treasury of inspiration for architects, interior designers, and designers of furniture and accessories as well as collectors of authentic Art Deco material and students of design, architectural history, and popular culture.

    These 48 color plates are paintings by architects from the early 1930s in France. They represent drawings for clients mostly in the ile-de-france, but also the south. They express the joy of Art Deco, which is far brighter and cleaner than the cluttered and overstuffed Victorian/Beaux Arts era. The introduction explains it as forward looking, as opposed to jamming apartments with antiques. You can only do that so long, and Art Deco was the whipsaw reaction: minimalism as relief. The lines are clean and squared. The organics left over from Art Nouveau add a balance of grace. No gathered brocade drapes here.What you will see is architects attempting to make tiny Parisian apartments feel large. They take advantage of the naturally high ceilings of beaux arts buildings, and reinforce that with extra low furniture and furnishings. It has the exaggerated look of Frank Lloyd Wright interiors, except his furnishings were so low because his ceilings were so low.Thanks to Dover for once again finding and rehabilitating a gem from the past.David Wineberg
