David Hicks on Bathrooms 1stUS edition 1970
About the Item
First US hardcover edition of the third volume in David Hicks' classic and collectable series of design books. Published in 1970 with the iconic Hicks cross design dust jacket.
Blurb from the dust jacket:
'The book is lavishly illustrated, illustrating historic and traditional bathrooms and ones that he and other internationally famous designers have created today which are prophetic of tomorrow. The reader will find this an authoritative, original book and it will unquestionably have a stimulating effect on the future of bathroom design.
This third book of David Hicks' shows his work in the United States, Switzerland, England, France, Holland and Nassau. Most of the illustrations were taken specially for the book and include bathrooms, cloakrooms and dressing rooms.
It also shows the work of other designers in the past and present, and rooms which were made by amateurs of taste.
Authoritative, international and original, it is redolent of the man himself - full of strong convictions. A typically uncompromising statement in visual and written terms of one of the most sought-after designers of our time. It is full of ideas and thoughts to reassure even the most unimaginative or timid reader."
David Hicks is considered to be among the foremost interior designers of the 20th century. From the decoration of his own house in London in 1956—in powerful colours that heralded an end to the drab, postwar English look—he set the pace for interior design both in Europe and America, personifying the many dramatic shifts in home decor throughout the 1960s-1980s, and achieving dynamic balance between the traditional and the contemporary. His design primer book series has become an iconic staple in any interior design library.

David Hicks Scrapbooks
By: Ashley Hicks
The most famous British designer of his day, David Hicks (1929–1998) wowed the English decorating world with his bold geometric prints, electrifying color combinations, and quirky mix of antique and contemporary furniture.

For decades, Hicks documented every salient moment of his life in scrapbooks, amassing 24 volumes in all. They contain press clippings, party invitations, swatches of his signature textile patterns, sketches of interiors...
