Contemporary Interior Design by Chris Van Uffelen

A reference, overview and source of inspiration for today's interior design, from private homes to stores, spas, restaurants, offices and more.

Interior design today is versatile, constantly changing, and allows room for experimentation and spontaneity. From materials and textures, through light and colors, shapes and lines, furniture, and design objects, to style references and much more: This compendium offers an inspiring overview of the latest trends, techniques, and visions of what is possible between floor and ceiling, and between four or more walls.

It presents the best of current design culture at the crossroads of global trends, local traditions, and functional requirements. Very different private and public design projects have been selected for a carefully curated spectrum of styles. The common denominator of all vividly presented examples is their authenticity, attention to detail, and a desire for individual expression.

Chris van Uffelen's main focus is the dissemination of design knowledge in all of its forms. The Dutch-German art historian has been writing books, essays, and articles on art, architecture, interior design, and urban planning from antiquity to the present for more than two decades. He's particularly interested in how architecture affects public places.
