Design School: The History of Interior Design and Decoration Part 1

The History of Interior Design and Decoration Part 1

There is capacity for 6 students on this course and it will be held in German or English

Dates: Please contact us for further information 

We have designed and we have decorated. From the very beginning of time. From the ancient cave-paintings of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, to the majestic Egyptian pyramids, the stunning Doric and

Corinthian columns of the Greeks and Romans, to modernist 20th century architecture, Art Noveau and Bauhaus, right up to 21st century minimalism. We have taken pride in our homes and have

celebrated the fusion of beauty and design. 

Are there any common threads in the history of interior design and exterior design? What have the Ancient Egyptians got in common with the Art Deco cities of

the 1920s jazz age? And what design elements are we utilizing today in the bright and shining 21st Century that echo our illustrious interior design and architectural past? I hope to cover this and so much

more, including expert advice on how to incorporate your newly acquired knowledge into your own home.

I look forward to welcoming you to the The History of Interior Design and Decoration Part 1 course!
