Combined into harmonious collages, the designs reflect thousands of years of artistic excellence. Unparalleled in scope and beauty, this volume -- a breathtaking synthesis of the world's decorative arts selected by a monumental French artist -- offers today's designers a wealth of new insights and inspiration.
