Join Bruce Peter as he discusses the creativity and innovation of designers working in British interiors over the past century
About this Event

We are delighted to be joined by Bruce Peter, Professor of Design History at GSA for a discussion of his recent book 'British Interior Design since 1925 : A Critical History' jointly authored with Drew Plunkett.


About the book:

This is the first critical account of the history of Interior Design in Britain, one that is distinct from that of Architecture, and which gives the profession a sense of its own identity. Set within the social, cultural, economic and political contexts which exercised and shaped creative imaginations across the 20th century, the book examines both interior design (principally commercial projects) and interior decoration (principally domestic projects).

Date: Thursday 12th February 2026

Talk begins: 18:30

Venue: RIAS Bookshop, 15 Rutland Square, Edinburgh, EH1 2BE
