This book showcases the Interior Design transition that occurred as people migrated from 1950s organic austerity into the enlightened and colorful (in more way than one) 1970s. This volume would be an invaluable resource for anybody attempting to restore or reproduce a contemporary residential environment. From the book: "Twenty interiors, some published for the first time, have been selected to show the many ways in which art can become part of our environment: in private homes, colleges, museums, churches, and concert halls from the United States, Japan, Finland, Germany, England, Austria, Italy, and France. A special feature devoted to 'The Art of Fibre' includes a comprehensive study by Virginia West and will prove of great value to all who take an interest in the recent developments of this age-old craft."
