INTERIOR DESIGN
Brangwyn felt that a designer should have imagination, taste, technical knowledge and a sense of public needs – he possessed all of these plus a chameleon like nature and an understanding of architecture. He could successfully design complete and harmonious interiors and involved himself with the technical background to each discipline.
The defining features of Brangwyn’s interiors were:
- restrained background, acting as a foil to areas of decoration or paintings
- line as the pre-eminent form of expression
- co-ordination of all aspects of furnishing, producing an aesthetic whole (Gesamtkunstwerk)
