Summary: "Die moderne Wohnung und ihre Ausstattung" by Joseph Aug. Lux is a comprehensive guide on modern interior design and aesthetics written in the early 20th century. The work explores the evolution of living spaces, emphasizing the balance between utility and aesthetic appeal, while considering historical influences on modern architecture. The book likely delves into various aspects of design, such as furnishings, color schemes, and the philosophy behind creating comfortable and functional homes. The opening portion of the text introduces the concept of the modern apartment while contrasting it with past styles, particularly the Biedermeier period. Lux reflects on the aesthetic sensibilities of earlier generations, likening them to a complete cultural expression that satisfied both form and function. He critiques the ornate and often gaudy aspects of historical styles, advocating for a return to simplicity and authenticity in home decoration. Additionally, Lux emphasizes the importance of personal taste and cultural expression in creating a welcoming living environment, setting the stage for further discussions on practical home design within the text.
