Specificatii
Interior designer and decorative arts historian Thomas Jayne takes
on the redoubtable Edith Wharton and her co-author Ogden Codman,
whose 1897 book The Decoration of Houses is acknowledged as the
Bible of American interior design. Wharton and Codman advocated for
classical simplicity and balance, replacing the excesses of the
Gilded Age. In Jayne's view, The Decoration of Houses is the
level-headed, indispensable book on the subject. It is not an
overstatement to say that it is the most important decorating book
ever written. How much of Wharton and Codman's advice and how many
of their principles are still applicable today? In Classical
Principles for Modern Design, Jayne argues that Wharton and
Codman's fundamental ideas about the proportion and planning of
space create the most harmonious and livable interiors, whether
traditional or contemporary. His authoritative and engaging text
traces contemporary ideas about design elements and furnishing
rooms back to Wharton and Codman and shows where his design
approach coincides and where it diverges from their views. The book
follows the chapter organization of The Decoration of
Houses--chapters on walls, doors, windows and curtains, ceilings
and floors, etc.--and adds important new perspectives on the design
of kitchens and the use of color, both major subjects that Wharton
and Codman did not address. Drawing on his own work at Jayne Design
Studio, Jayne has selected elegant, traditional interiors that
demonstrate these principles. Projects range from a restoration of
historic eighteenth-century public rooms in Crichel House in
Dorset, England, to a mountain retreat in the wilds of Montana to
an array of luxurious New York City apartments and country houses
in the Hudson Valley. Captured in lush photographs by Don Freeman
and others, all speak to Thomas Jayne's commitment to the primacy
of function, quality, and simplicity, derived from the ancient
tradition of classical design. As he says, Tradition is not about
what was. Tradition is now.
