One of America's finest fabric designers leads a tour of contemporary interiors, showing how the artfuluse of fabric can add color and personality to any space. Particularly in the case of modern buildings,cookie-cutter in design and identical in layout, a well-designed interior may be the only way to assert an individual's identity. Larsen outlines design developments, illustrating the many types of spaces in which fabric can make a difference, and shows examples in brilliant color photos.
