Summary:

In The Modern Interior, Penny Sparke examines the work of such designers as Marcel Breuer, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, and Mies van der Rohe, to reveal that, unlike the designed exteriors of buildings and institutions, the idea of the "interior" has been a largely abstract conception promoted through exhibitions, retail stores, and mass media.
