About the Item

One of Britain's foremost interior designers, David Hicks sets down , for the first time, both the principles and the practicalities of his profession. With a combination of sound guidelines, detailed information, and illuminating examples, he has composed an indispensable design guide. This comprehensive manual is organized into broad topics covering every aspect of design, from working with clients to managing the raw materials of colour, pattern, texture, and light. Individual chapters cover organization of space, surface treatments, soft furnishings, room arrangement, illusion, and accessories. Throughout, David Hicks draws from his thirty years of experience as a professional designer whose career has embraced work for major corporations, hotels, shops, and restaurants, as well as individual clients around the world. Marrying the best modern design and classic historic approaches, Mr. Hicks provides solutions for a variety of locations, spanning town and country, boardroom and living room. The text is fully illustrated with superb colour photographs, line drawings, and Hick's own sketches. With its breadth of context and sharp, refreshing points of view, David Hicks Style and Design is an invaluable work of reference, whether you want to know how to devise a colour scheme, light an office, or just arrange a table top. 207 pages. 1160 grams.
