International Interiors Annual 2007
The IFI Yearbook is seen as a means of archiving the works of members through the years, works that identify the role of the interior architect/designer in society. Through these projects, IFI celebrates with its members the regional spirit and cultural diversity of our members and our professional pursuits.
This yearbook separates the projects through the various categories that make up the field of work of Interior Architects and Interior Designers. It showcases projects affecting all aspect of society, from the home, to hospitality, the workplace environment, health care, public buildings, institutional projects and spaces through to aged care, projects that also deal with universal design and sustainability.
The projects in this yearbook are relevant to society as it is experienced in a global arena today, in a modern world where cultural mix is less evident in an increasingly internationalized society.

The Furniture Collection: Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam: 1850-2000/From Michael Thonet To Marcel Wanders
Luca Dosi Delfini, Jan Van Adrichem (Editor)
The Stedelijk Museum opened its doors in 1895, the same year as the first Venice Biennale. It was a "quiet, civilized museum for the Amsterdam bourgeoisie in a time when there was nothing as troublesome as modern art." Initially, the museum exhibited the legacy of the eccentric Sophia Augusta de Bruyn, Douairière Lopez Suasso: a heterogeneous collection of antiques, coins, jewels, timepieces, silver knickknacks, and other curiosa. Period rooms, from canal houses that had been demolished when Raadhuisstraat was driven through, helped create a presentable whole. The museum's renowned furniture collection was not begun until 1934, but since then it has grown to include more than 1000 objects from circa 1850 to the present, with an accent on the twentieth century. Chairs, settees, folding screens, cabinets, and even complete interiors are included.
This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the Stedelijk Museum’s furniture collecting activities from 1934 to 2000. It charts the museum's rich collection, which includes work by H.P. Berlage, K.P.C de Bazel, Piet Kramer, Gerrit T. Rietveld, Martin Visser, Piet Hein Eek, and Marcel Wanders, as well as international furniture classics designed by Michael Thonet, Charlotte Perriand, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Joe Colombo, Arne Jacobsen, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, and Ron Arad. Besides a complete overview of the furniture collection, this annotated catalogue includes an introduction to the history of the collection and its exhibition activities. In addition, the volume explores various themes, such as international and Dutch icons, and contrasts and evolutions, in greater depth in a number of short essays.
