    Die TASCHEN-Reihe Decorative Arts deckt in sechs Bänden das 20. Jahrhundert bis zu den 70er Jahren ab und fasst das Beste aus Decorative Art, The Studio Yearbook zusammen. Dieses Jahrbuch wurde von 1906 bis 1980 ein Mal jährlich herausgegeben und zeigte die jüngsten Entwicklungen aus den Bereichen Architektur, Interiordesign, Möbel, Licht, Glas, Stoff, Metall und Keramik. Nach ihrem Erscheinungsende waren die Jahrbücher schwer zu bekommen – Sammler und Händler zahlten hohe Preise für die begehrten Werke. Decorative Arts von TASCHEN behält das ursprüngliche Seitenlayout bei und ermöglicht so einen authentischen Blick auf die Trends und Stile der jeweiligen Jahrzehnte.
