Past Imperfect

Posted October 21, 2009

Interiors like the ones in Metropolis contributor Eva Hagberg’s new book, Dark Nostalgia (The Monacelli Press; $45), always get a rise around here. Anything less than high Modernism, it seems, just will not do. Nevertheless, antlers, hides, and salvaged goods have permeated the spaces that we haunt of late, and the author has captured the trend before we slough it off for something shiny and new.
