Details of "In The Oriental Style"Date Submitted:
10/14/06 (Edited 10/14/06)
Description:
Since the beginning of trade between East and West, the Orient has been a source of beautiful and exotic objects, materials, textures and colours for Europeans and Americans, and has enriched the vocabulary of Western design. Now, the increasing accessibility of Asia has opened up an even greater range of objects and designs which can be used and applied just as effectively in Western interiors as in the traditional dwellings of Japan, Thailand, Burma, and other the other countries of eastern Asia.
Celebrating Eastern elegance as a decorative style, this sumptuous book illustrates how it can be achieved in both the East and the West. Here is a kaleidoscopic examination of 'style' in the Orient: the refined craftsmanship of Thai textiles and ceramics; traditional statuary from Burma; the minimalist perfection of a Japanese apartment.
