About this book

Welcome to the hybrid home, in which the bathroom has become a temple of wellness, the living room an online couch, and the kitchen a lounge. Everything appears tidy and chic, perfect for social media. In the Instagram Age, even micro-apartments are mutating into semi-public places.

The German journalist Oliver Herwig has been studying the transformation of living spaces and dream interiors for years. In this book, he portrays a society in the throes of digital transformation. The lines between work, leisure and rest have been blurred, as our homes become temporary, multipurpose work, fun and multimedia spaces; the office has invaded the home, and the world of smart shopping is always just a word away thanks to Alexa. Nothing quite fits anymore, yet everything must have its place. Welcome to the hybrid home.

  • Easy reading about the difficult transitions in our living spaces
  • Smart and analytical, the book reveals the hidden desires that shape how we live
  • Designed and illustrated by Studio für Gestaltung, Cologne
  • Available in English and German
  • Author / Editor information

    Dr. Oliver Herwig, author, freelance journalist (SZ, FAZ) and lecturer for design theory at the University of Art and Design, Linz
