Alles ist erlaubt – Hauptsache es ist schwarz oder weiß Die Kombination von Schwarz und Weiß hatte schon immer etwas Dramatisches. Als traditionelle Farben der High-Society und des raffinierten Designs stehen die beiden Farbklassiker seit dem Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts für unnachahmlichen Luxus und beispiellose Eleganz. Die Kombination ist kühn, stark stilisierend und glamourös. Sie scheint kein Alter zu kennen, ganz egal, wie viele andere Farben und Farbschattierungen im sich stets wandelnden Modestrom an ihr vorbeiziehen mögen. Das Buch zeigt, wie Schwarz und Weiß wirkungsvoll in Architektur und Interior-Design auf der ganzen Welt eingesetzt werden: sei es in einem New Yorker Appartement, einem Landhaus in Australien, einem Feriendomizil auf den Bahamas oder in einem isländischen Hotel. • Wohn- und Lifestyle-Inspirationen zum Thema Schwarz-Weiß • Glamour und Eleganz der 20er, 30er und 40er Jahre • Design- und Architekturbeispiele aus Europa und Übersee
