Oliver Messel: In the Theatre of Design
"Oliver Messel: In the Theatre of Designby Thomas Messel shows the work of one of England’s foremost interior designers whose work spanned the worlds of theater, film, interior design, and architecture. Romanticism and eccentricity were hallmarks of Messel’s style, and his sets were famed for their exquisite delicacy, impossible detail, subtlety of color, and inventive use of materials. The book is filled with previously unpublished images that chronicle a unique, and, until now, largely overlooked oeuvre that reached across all mediums and continues to influence the worlds of interior design, architecture, and fashion." ~Editors at Large
