Modern Orientalism : New Chinese Style

A collection of 21 interior design projects, categorised into four parts: The Meaning of Literature The Beauty of Painting The Fineness of Craft The Thinking of Philosophy All of these projects are selected as they are deemed to be the best representation of ‘Modern Orientalism’, a style in interior design that is believed to have both a traditional Chinese flavour and modern design characteristics; a contemporary interpretation of the traditions based on requirements of modern men. The interpretation is not realised by simply using typical Chinese elements in the design; rather, the deeper soul behind the Chinese civilisation is explored; literature, painting, craft, and philosophy are all covered. Through the book, you will have a comprehensive understanding of Chinese culture and its application in contemporary interior design.
