Way We Live

'So much more than an interiors book ... a truly international view of urban living' - The Times 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 Homes looks at city dwelling throughout the world. City SpacesâÂÂfocuses on the details of city living:âÂÂthe places we devote to cooking, eating and sleeping. City SurfacesâÂÂis a study of interior decoration:âÂÂcolour, texture and materials. City Detail demonstrates how even restricted spaces can be made inviting:âÂÂarrangements of art and objects; 'cabinets of curiosities'; storage space; external decoration. City Life is an amazing photo essay of cityscapes around the world: buildings, street life, communities. Stafford Cliff was formerly Creative Director of the Conran Design Group in London.
