Details

In the form of a script Kristina Raderschad has put together a collection of annotated illustrations which deal with those aspects of our homes which do not normally form the highlights of books and magazines on home furnishing – areas such as light and shade, storage space, fireplace inserts, radiators and even switches and sockets. The book doesn't contain any detailed drawings or instructions on implementing any of the suggested solutions, but there is an appendix with the complete addresses of the relevant manufacturers, designers and architects.

The many and varied easily understood ideas, especially designed for the non-expert, are supported by commentaries from five designers and architects. For example Alfredo Häberli explains the principle of the collage as a feel-good criterion, Andreas Scheuring talks about the spatial advantages of split-level organisation and Lori Weitzner describes the application of fashionable accessories made of gold leaf and tree bark.
