Review: "This is an introduction to all the key names and projects in contemporary interior architecture. As the author writes in her introduction it 'is not about cosmetic plastic surgery but about complete organ transplant. The individuals and companies featured are not only concerned with surface and appearance - the ephemeral, frail and convertible - but through their work they control shape, space, services and identity to reflect the new needs and innumerable faces of twenty-first-century society.'" "Covering the work of 55 international practitioners, it includes both the firmly established and the up and coming; the classic and the more experimental. For each entry there are six pages with a short text consisting of a critical appraisal as well as full biographical details. This is followed by images of the key works by that designer concentrating on the more recent but also the most iconic where relevant. Packed with a wide range of projects and styles, it will be invaluable for all professionals and students of design and architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
