Reviews

Toy and Shaw both look at the trend toward the use of natural materials in modern, minimal style domestic interiors. Filled with superb color photographs, Toy's book takes an international look at contemporary minimal style in architect-designed houses that focuses on the use of natural materials as well as an innovative use of glass, light, and color to create a warmer feel. Shaw gives more explanatory information on the use of natural materials in modern interiors that will help even an amateur achieve the look. Beginning with the use of individual elements such as stone, wood, and fabrics, in the second section Shaw shows how these elements can be combined into a design scheme. Shaw provides an international list of resources and Toy an international list of designers and architects. Both are recommended for large interior design collections, Shaw's book would be a good choice for public libraries.
