Why is a 19th-century Indian bed being used as a table? Why have chairs made from elk horns been placed in a room with hand-decorated walls in a historic Tuscan building? Why is a miniature yacht floating in a rooftop pool? Why is there a hydromassage bathtub in the center of a dinner table surrounded by work stools? As this imaginative design book makes clear, interior design is ruled only by what is possible. Gorgeously photographed, it presents spaces that combine or juxtapose major thematic elements into hybrid interiors, under headings of Extraordinary-Familiar; Home-Work; Interior-Exterior; and Contemporary-Historic.
