Elements of a Home - Amy Azzarito

Elements of a Home

The Elements of a Home reveals the fascinating stories behind more than 60 everyday household objects and furnishings.



Brimming with amusing anecdotes and absorbing trivia, this captivating collection is a treasure trove of curiosities.



With
tales from the kitchen, the bedroom, and every room in between, these
pages expose how napkins got their start as lumps of dough in ancient
Greece, why forks were once seen as immoral tools of the devil, and
how Plato devised one of the earliest alarm clocks using rocks and
water-plus so much more.



* A charming gift for anyone who loves history, design, or decor

* Readers discover tales from every nook and cranny of a home.

* Entries feature historical details from locations all over the world, including Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa.



As a design historian and former managing editor of Design*Sponge, author Amy Azzarito has crafted an engaging, whimsical history of the household objects you've never thought twice about.



The
result is a fascinating book filled with tidbits from a wide range of
cultures and places about the history of domestic luxury.



* Filled with lovely illustrations by Alice Pattullo

* Perfect as a housewarming or wedding gift, or for anyone who adores interior design, trivia, history, and unique facts

* Great for those who enjoyed The Greatest Stories Never Told: 100 Tales from History to Astonish, Bewilder, and Stupefy by Rick Beyer, An Uncommon History of Common Things by Bethanne Patrick and John Thompson, Encyclopedia of the Exquis
