title = "Hands at home? Textures, tactility and touch in interior design",
abstract = "This chapter explores the mutually constitutive relationships between touch and interior design for the home, in an analysis attentive to modernisms and mediation. The phrase {\textquoteleft}home comforts{\textquoteright} indicates that the home is not merely a place; it is a group of sensory experiences which collectively produce a distinctive comfort. Here, I examine three key tendencies of modernism, showing how a focus on touch yields new understanding about the interplay of people and their object worlds in domestic interiors.",
