| Synopsis: |
A highly decorative sourcebook, Chinese Style is an evocative exploration of the design, style, art and culture of this rich, ancient world, offering classic design principles that are still applicable to contemporary living. The book begins by studying the classical architecture including the balance of space and layout, and the traditional design principles of yin and yang. The second chapter looks at colour, lighting and wallpaper as well as the ceremony of eating and tea drinking. Chinese style is largely expressed through detail and the following chapters explore furniture, textiles, ceramics and the decorative arts. Bradley Quinn's absorbing writing style contains highly informed and engaging text. Accompanied by original photography, Chinese Style is a fascinating sourcebook of this timeless style. |
