The Way We Live — In the City

Beyond and behind the life of the streets lie the private spaces – interiors and rooms where the tastes and aspirations of individuals are reflected in the design and arrangement of objects set among different colours, textures, materials and finishes. Cross-cultural comparisons and connections are made throughout this wonderful book, giving a truly international view of the city experience, and creating a compilation of inspirational ideas for stylish urban living. City Homes looks at city dwelling throughout the world. City Spaces focuses on the details of city living: the places we devote to cooking, eating and sleeping. City Surfaces is a study of interior decoration: colour, texture and materials. City Detail demonstrates how even restricted spaces can be made inviting: arrangements of art and objects; «cabinets of curiosities»; storage space; external decoration. City Life is an amazing photo essay of cityscapes around the world: buildings, street life, communities.
