"Good design is Forever",
By
This review is from: Brunschwig and Fils Style (Hardcover)
Murray Douglas is a scholar of historical design. She is keenly aware of the importance of using contempory trends to compliment culturally historic design. The book becomes a resource not only of the history of Brunschwig & Fils and its textiles, trims and wall coverings, but of how well-known designers have integrated the Brunschwig line with their own flair and client's needs. She gives a useful history of the manufacture and use of textiles, trims and wallpapers. Douglas and Irvine tell the story of McLean's photographs as they create a pallette of comfort and style with color and sophistication. I use the book as a text and photo resource for all of my design projects!

This review is from: Brunschwig and Fils Style (Hardcover)
The cover photo is fairly representative of the photos inside the book. The descriptions which accompany each photo are fairly informative. As you might expect, the photos show rooms decorated with lots of color and pattern. There are quite a few photos (I counted over 160 "color decorating photos"), some full-page, others half-page or quarter-page size. I received this book today and already love it. I'll enjoy reading the text, looking at the photos repeatedly, and will treasure this book for a long time!

Brunschwig & Fils Style,

This review is from: Brunschwig and Fils Style (Hardcover)
This book gives a very good insight into the history of Brunschwig & Fils and a very good addition to the library of anyone interested in Interior Design and decoration. There are some very good pictures with descriptions. There is also an interesting chapter on the making of fabric. I buy many books on interior decoration and one this was definitely worth buying for me. Heather Szczepanski
