See all formats and editions
This volume traces the evolution of eclectic European style from their roots in the Renaissance through the early 20th century. The 265 beautiful color photographs by Barbara and RenT Stoeltie and the text by Sigrid Sangl (furniture and woodwork department, Bavarian National Museum) illustrate and describe rooms in private houses throughout Germany and Austria, many of which have not been previously photographed. Topics include the influence of the Renaissance, Baroque grandeur and Roccoco fantasies, the impact of Classical antiquity and the Biedermeier style, the search for a true German style in the 19th century and the quest for a consciously modern one, and the rural tradition.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The terms Biedermeier, which refers to the late 18th-century German interpretation of neoclassicism, and Bauhaus, which refers to the ultramodern design of post-World War I, are frequently mentioned in interior design books, but otherwise the German decorative arts are overlooked or only briefly covered. Sangl, a German furniture expert and head of the Furniture and Woodwork Department of the Bavarian National Museum, provides an overview of German interior and furniture design from the early 16th to the early 20th century with descriptions of the historical, cultural, and sociological influences that shaped the development of decorative style. Contemporary color photographs depict existing examples that exemplify each style as found in German castles, palaces, and country homes, such as Sanssouci in Potsdam and the Schloss Faber-Castell near Nuremberg. A concluding chapter covers the German folk or rural tradition in the home. Highly recommended for college, professional, and large interior design collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title fool you...
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2013
This book is superb, and covers so much more than the two style trends mentioned in the title. Many people relegate Biedermeier style to the 19th century, yet this book covers design trends from the Renaissance onward, as it evolved in Germanic lands. The breadth of interiors covered, the quality of the photos, the writing, this book has it all. I see that it went through two different permutations of the dust jacket, possibly in an effort to attract buyers. I think it is the title that throws potential buyers off. This book is essential for those wishing to know more about German interiors as they evolved over time, as well as a great sourcebook of ideas to be adapted to modern-day interiors. Buy this book, you will not be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and superb
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2004
I don't know what the previous reviewers were critiquing-- what follows is about S Sangl's brilliant and unique book. It is safe to say that in every respect -- text, photos, and production values --- this unique volume fulfills its mission to present the tradition of German(ic) interior design at the highest level. Although the photos are true 'eye candy', this book is intended as serious discourse and rises far above the typical coffee table ballast.
