The Art Deco House by Adrian Tinniswood
The key domestic buildings of the Art Deco period by some of the greatest architects and designers of the 20th century. Today the Art Deco style enjoys a popularity unrivalled since its inception at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, from which the style takes its name. In spite of this, the role of Art Deco in defining domestic architecture is often neglected. Divided into five chapters on five key styles of Art Deco house, this book showcases over 34 fantastic houses by some of the great architects of the 20th century, including Le Corbusier, Norman Bel Geddes, and Richard Neutra. Art Deco icons such as Miami Beach, the Maison de Verre, and Eltham Palace are included amongst lesser-known gems such as Michael Scott's Geragh in Ireland and Eckart Muthesius's Manik Bagh in India.
"Easily digestible for those in the dark on Art Deco and quite nourishing for those in need of a top up on their knowledge..a must have for all Art Deco enthusiasts." Editor's Choice, Traditional Homes & Interiors
