material wealth: living with luxurious fabrics
by jack lenor larsen
"THE PRIMARY FUNCTION of furnishing fabrics," writes widely known fabric designer Jack Lenor Larsen, "is to differentiate and personalize spaces and to give them a sense of place. It is not so much a physical function as a psychological one. These fabrics please the sensibilities as well as the senses, providing privacy, shielding us from glare . . . and muffling noises." But wisely choosing fabrics is also a process of education, and with his book Larsen offers comprehensive explanations to many facets of working with fabrics in the home and office."
There is also practical information: ideas on decorating as well as how to order fabric, gauging durability, colorfastness and calculating a fabric budget.""
