London Minimum (World Design)

Herbert Ypma created an innovative approach to interior design in this series of visual sourcebooks for designers, architects, artists, travelers, and everyone interested in home decoration. London is often associated with clutter and chintz, but in fact interior minimalism is at its zenith there. From the elegant restraint of Georgian architecture, furniture, and silverware to the pared-down, sophisticated interiors of contemporary designers, London has often displayed a preference for directness and uniformity. This traditiona??making use of materials of the highest quality in the simplest and most dramatic waysa??gives a seductive edge to Londona??s minimal design. London Minimum features the work of some of Londona??s most celebrated and creative individuals. Outstanding photographs reveal and highlight the harmony of minimal designa??the true London style. 166 color phgotographs and illustrations.
