Book on the Historical Interiors of Paide: "The Great Patterns of a Small Town." Authors: KAREN KLANDORF, KRISTIINA RIBELUS, VILJAR VISSEL The history of the interior design of Paide is also a history of wallpaper — enchanting patterns have emerged from the old houses of Paide in countless numbers, with the best of them gathered between the covers of this newly completed book. After exploring this captivating collection, no old photo will ever seem black and white again. The historical interiors tell a fascinating story in this book, with patterns as the main characters. The book serves as a wallpaper primer, providing an overview of wallpaper history alongside patterns and historical interior photographs. It also discusses the history of wallpaper production in Estonia and the small-town merchants who supplied the local population with this widely used commodity. The wallpaper patterns are dated — based on analogies, style critiques, and discovery contexts, they are categorized into decades, which allows the book to be used as a tool for both interior design and research. In addition to the rich historical wallpaper finds, the world of Paide’s interior patterns has been significantly and uniquely contributed to by August Roosileht, whose work stands out vividly in our interior history. It is a misconception to think that the homes of this small provincial town have all been modest or old-fashioned. Far from it! The book offers an overview of the interior elements designed by August Roosileht, which stand in stark contrast to the old-fashioned and traditional.
