In this book, the acclaimed designer David Mlinaric discusses with author Mirabel Cecil the buildings he has worked on and been inspired by during his long career, and takes an expert look at the creation and interpretation of historic interiors. The practice Mlinaric started forty-five years ago in London now has thriving offices in Paris and New York. He has designed spaces in buildings the world over, among them London' s National Gallery, the Royal Opera House, Spencer House, the primary galleries at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Bath Assembly Rooms; embassies in Washington, Paris and Brussels; as well as houses for the Rothschild family, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, and myriad other private clients.
