287 pages illustrations ; 24 cm. A global survey of 250 of the most creative women practicing interior design from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. The history of women's involvement in interior design is rich and varied. It is a discipline where women enjoy an equal standing with their male counterparts, yet it is typically framed as a design practice especially suited to women, secondary to the heroic role of architect or furniture designer. This timely survey explores the ways in which women have shaped the built environment beyond the confines of the home, revealing their careers as true tastemakers of the twentieth and twenty-first century. Making Space shines a light on the diverse and influential work of 250 women who design interiors - well-known, unsung, and emerging from more than 50 countries."-- Provided by publisher Includes bibliographical references and index. a------ Interior decoration Asian influences Interior decoration Psychological aspects Orientalism in art Interior decoration Asian influences Interior decoration Psychological aspects Orientalism in art Interior decoration Asia NK2113 .O75 2025 9781837290086 2015018677 DLC 150511 20251216093324.0 907140749 eng
