An exceptionally well written and researched book for today's designers. A comprehensive yet practical tool with enduring qualities that fills a void and speaks to the role and use of fabric for residential, commercial, and travel interiors.

Finally, a great book for everyone who loves design and fabric and how the two are interrelated-literally-how fibers become fabric and designs evolve. The book also touches on how fabric defines culture. And Koe delivers the information in an easy style with riveting tidbits.

The book is a bible for students of design, established designers, and architects. This comprehensive book is a must read!

I wish I had a book like this when I was attending design school! Often, the only way we really learn about fabric production, styling, how to source products, what professional interior designers demand, etc. is through actually getting a job and working hard to learn much of what we should have gotten in class.

Fabric for the Designed Interior provides all the information in a beautifully visual way that allows a person starting out to hit the ground running!

I recently had Dr. Koe speak to my Interior Design and CAD students. He is not only a very dynamic and highly informed speaker but an accomplished writer.

The reason I had Dr. Koe speak to my students is because I examined his new book, Fabric for the Designed Interior and found it to be the BEST text I have ever read! I will be using his text and the extensive support materials for our Finishes class.
