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 objects set among different colours, textures, materials and finishes.

Cross-cultural comparisons and connections are made throughout this wonderful book, giving a truly international view of the city experience, and creating a compilation of inspirational ideas for stylish urban living.

City Spaces focuses on the details of city living: the places we devote to cooking, eating and sleeping.
City Surfaces is a study of interior decoration: colour, texture and materials.
