Summary: Gilles de Chabaneix was fascinated by the life of cities around the world, both as complete entities and as compendiums of urban detail in the forms of streets, houses, apartments, offcies, bars, caþfes and people. Beyond and behind the life of the streets lie the private spaces - interiors and rooms where the tastes and aspirations of individuals are reflected in the design and arrangement of myriad objects set amid a whole panoply of different colours, textures, materials and finishes. This book illustrates the ways in which people go about creating their own personal environment and the detailing they apply to it. ... Every opportunity to make cross-cultural comparisons and connections is taken, providing a truly international view of the city experience, and creating a whole book that is effectively a compilation of inspirational ideas for stylish urban living."--Jacket.
