Presents the eclectic style of New York-based interior designer William Pahlmann (1900-1987). His "primary concern in writing this book was an urge to stress the art of good living, of which he conceives interior design to be an integral part. ... This book covers an enormous range and is written in simple, non-technical language that renders it an invaluable manual for both layman and student. ... The book is illuminated by Mr. Pahlmann's irrepressible high spirits and sense of fun, his inability to compromise with anything but superb taste, and his down-to-earth grasp of the essential elements of homemaking." (dj) Highly illustrated, as you may imagine. Showcases "mid-century modern" before the term came into being.
