Sobre IBD

Turning Houses into Homes surveys the developments and changes in the retailing and consumption of home furnishings over the past three centuries. By taking a cross-disciplinary approach it explores and evaluates the inter-relations between two constitutions. The important but often contradictory role of the retailer as both a supplier and advisor is considered in relation to the needs and aspirations of consumers who wish to turn their houses into homes.
