World Of Art - Interior Design Since 1900 is a comprehensive overview that takes the reader on a journey through the evolution of interior design from the Arts and Crafts movement of the 19th century to today's hi-tech and eco-friendly design. From Art Nouveau and Bauhaus to today's global design scene, Anne Massey explores how design has changed over the course of the 20th century, driven by professional interior designers and an increased desire to regularly redesign homes.

The book highlights the importance of sustainable design in public environments such as offices, factories and ships, and places these developments in a social, political, economic and cultural context.
