This is a compilation of design philosophy by British designer David Hicks, a hard-to-find desirable book. Hicks is one of the world's top interior designers. His practice ranges from Australia and Japan to Europe and the United States and includes interiors for private homes, offices, hotels, shops and restaurants. In addition to accessories traditionally associated with interior decorating-fabrics, carpets, furniture and wallpaper-his work includes a host of other products.
Hicks writes about the ideas and principles which guide his work, whether he is designing a drawing room, hanging paintings, arranging objects and flowers or concealing an awkward door-but also more personally about the early influences which shaped his career and his method of working. Contents include sections on taste, maintenance, everyday objects, color, ceilings, staircases, concealment, lamps and lighting, dining rooms, architecture, windows and curtains, beds and bedrooms, wall treatments, storage and display, furniture, doors and screens, carpets and fabrics, fireplaces, pattern, flowers and plants, style, bathrooms, pictures, drawing and painting, gardens, containers, kitchens, and more.
