| This style and decorative arts book reflects the design philosophy of renowned artisan Susan Sargent, emphasizing spontaneous creativity, do-it-yourself decorative accents, and ideas for adding self-expression to any and all furnishings. Her fresh interpretation of classical forms celebrates design, proportion, and color with a subtle whimsy and playful spirit. Her style is distinguished by a look that is elegant and relaxed, with a tasteful use of color patterns and imagery. Sargent is an innovator and pioneer in combining cutting-edge colors and modern manufacturing practices with mediums that are steeped in tradition. Her creative and refreshing approach draws from many influences in design: William Morris, Vanessa Bell, Roger Fry, Carl Larsson, Laura Ashley, and Marimekko. Filled with more than 300 magnificent full-color photographs and inspiring text, this book displays the hundreds of ways beautiful handcrafted objects and vibrant, unexpected colors can enhance one's home-and life. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
