Arranging Things - A Rhetoric of Object Placement

Just as his classic bestseller Wabi-Sabi explored the quintessential Japanese aesthetic, Leonard Koren's book uncovers the underlying principles that govern how Western designers arrange things in three-dimensional compositions. Inspired by Greek and Roman notions of rhetoric, Koren elucidates the elements of arranging rhetoric that all designers instinctively use — from floral compositions to interior decorating.

Not a how-to but a manifesto of theory and insight, this book will change the way you see, and arrange, your world.
