Celebrating Eastern elegance as a decorative style, this sumptuous book illustrates how it can be achieved in both the East and the West. Here are the refined craftsmanship of Thai textiles and ceramics; traditional statuary from Burma; the minimalist perfection of a Japanese apartment.
Increasing accessibility has opened up a huge 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 the other countries of eastern Asia.
Much of In the Oriental Style is devoted to innovative Western interiors which draw their inspiration from Oriental design and objects. A wealth of individual pieces antiques, ornamental screens, lacquerware, basketry and furniture is illustrated and described, showing the enormous variety in decoration that even the simplest objects can bring to a Western home or garden
