In the Asian Style: A Design Sourcebook

Összefoglaló

East meets west is a strong trend in modern-day interiors, as homeowners seek to create relaxed, harmonious retreats for their families. In the Asian Style takes the best examples of Oriental design from around the world to show how it can be applied and adapted absolutely anywhere. Full-colour images by photographer Kim Sayer capture the different facets of this sensual, yet often distinctly minimalist approach to living. An authoritative, readable text looks at the history of Oriental decorative styles and examines the structure and function of particular spaces in the Asian home. Five in-depth chapters focus on such key materials in the genre as bamboo, lacquer and basketware. Inspiring and informative, In the Asian Style is an ideal reference for anyone interested in design and style.
