Gerd Hatje and Peter Kaspar: 1601 DECORATING IDEAS FOR MODERN LIVING: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HOME FURNISHING AND INTERIOR DESIGN. NYC: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1973. First edition. A Fine hardcover book in a Fine Dust jacket. Former owners name and phone number on front endpaper, otherwise interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print.

9 x 11.25 hardcover book with 300 pages and 445 illustrations, including 316 plates in full color. From the book: "In nine ample chapters, the home is scrutinized section by section. The entrance, the living room,...the house as a whole are all examined in the total context of modern living."

Absolutely the best book for interior design of the mid to late sixties, showing the transition from the organic modernism of the 1950s to the Op-art and post-modern ideologies of the 1960s and 1970s. Gerd hatje was the editor of the New Furniture (Neue Mobel) series and really knew what he was talking about. Highly recommended. Contents:
