I don't often talk about the physical aspects of books in reviews, but when there's something special going on, I make an exception。 "100 Interiors Around the World" is published by Taschen in a hardcover, compact, 14 x 20 cm edition, which is somehow very satisfying to hold and read。 The quality of the paper feels good, the size is just right and while it's the size and weight of a brick, it's a very nice brick。Moving on to the contents, not all the interiors showcased here are great。 Some are I don't often talk about the physical aspects of books in reviews, but when there's something special going on, I make an exception。 "100 Interiors Around the World" is published by Taschen in a hardcover, compact, 14 x 20 cm edition, which is somehow very satisfying to hold and read。 The quality of the paper feels good, the size is just right and while it's the size and weight of a brick, it's a very nice brick。Moving on to the contents, not all the interiors showcased here are great。 Some are decidedly not, such as a cautionary tale of a house deigned by an artist, rather than an architect, which has a bedroom so narrow that it barely fits the bed。 But the interiors are *varied*, from rich and minimalistic, to overly decorated, to shabby and so old the kitchen tiles are broken, to Berlin communist chic (whyyy would you。。。 never mind)。 While I wouldn't live in most of these places, they're interesting to look at, and I never got the feeling that I was seeing mere repetitions on the same theme。 。。。more
Andras,
A nice divere selection of interiors - would recommend to anyone looking for inspiration。
Mehsi,
Some homes were pretty nice, but I wouldn't want to live in most of them。 They look like a museum, boring, bland, ugly, or that someone just plopped a home in a concrete home without thinking of decorating it at all。Often I just liked elements from homes, but not the home totally。 I did love the variety we see homes from all over the world。 Some homes were pretty nice, but I wouldn't want to live in most of them。 They look like a museum, boring, bland, ugly, or that someone just plopped a home in a concrete home without thinking of decorating it at all。Often I just liked elements from homes, but not the home totally。 I did love the variety we see homes from all over the world。 。。。more
