Jenny Gibbs is one of the industry’s most talented and tireless leading lights. As principal of the KLC School of Design at London’s Chelsea Design Centre, she has helped launch the careers of more than a handful of top interior designers. So this book is a welcome addition to the ‘how-to’ library for aspiring designers, written by someone who really knows it from the inside. Uniting history, theory and practice, it represents an up-to-date resource. Chapter headings include Pre-Design Work (briefs, surveys, relationships), Planning and Design (plans, CAD), Harmonising the Elements (colour and light, materials, finishes) and Project Coordination and Management (the nitty-gritty).
