The book explores a group of like-minded designers in France, the architects-decorateurs, who also committed themselves to designing and equipping the modern house. This title traces the development of these ideas in France from the Salons d'Automne displays of 1900 through the post-World War I period. It is of interest to art and architectural historians.
