DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. WRITTEN BY: Julie V. Iovine. PHOTOGRAPHS BY: Maria Robledo. STYLED BY: Fritz Karch. CONTENTS: Foundation; Space; Design; The Room; Furniture; Living; Details; Mixing; Smart House; Generations; Whole House; Where. SYNOPSIS: Home is the place where natural light, clean lines, and well-designed furniture can make the difference between living and inhabiting. Chic Simple is about real design for real living. About understanding one's own particular needs and how to most economically deal with them. Chic Simple is a key to recognizing the things you will be happy to live with in every area from flooring to furniture to fabrics. It illustrates and discusses space and how to use it, principles of design, the building blocks of the room, furniture basics, details that make a difference. Chic Simple stimulates a fresh approach to the home, whether it is a studio apartment or a palace. It inspires you to reassess your space; to recycle (paint it, move it, cover it) instead of replace; to feel comfortable mixing styles and periods; to understand the new home technology; to deal with the design needs of an infant, teen, or elder. Its information ranges from the practical (creating an environmentally sound household) to the exciting: words of wisdom from Frank Gehry, Elsie de Wolfe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Andre Putman, Christopher Alexander. Chic Simple challenges us to re-think, re-use, and re-experience the living space we call home. Chic Simple: the more you know, the less you need.
