Summary:

"The first scholarly approach to an era more often appreciated for its 'kitsch appeal' alone, Postwar Interior Design offers a comprehensive, in-depth look, through both text and photographs, at the best designs of the time--including accessories, textiles, lighting, and architectural settings--at the designers themselves, and at the forces that shaped them." -- Front flap.
