Fabrics For Interiors
A Guide for Architects, Designers, and Consumers
By Jack Lenor Larsen & Jeanne Weeks
This comprehensive handbook emphasizes a functional approach to fabric
selection. Part 1 describes the aesthetic characteristics of fabric --
texture, color, pattern -- and the use of fabric to personalize bland
contemporary environments and to relieve monotonous surfaces with casual
variety found in nature. Part 2 discusses the functions and requirements of
fabrics for windows, furniture, and walls and ceilings. Part 3 explains the
relationships of different types of fibers, yarns and cloths, especially
fabric constructions, finishing processes and the properties. Part 4 covers
the methods of dyeing and printing color into cloth. Part 5 is a guide to
professional practice. This book is invaluable for professional and student
designers, architects, and craftsmen, as well as homemakers. Illustrated in
B&W.
