Chinese Style: The Art of Living Foreward: Ou Baholyodhin Photographers: Bradley Quinn, Jan Baldwin Binding: Softcover, 192 pages (2005) Publisher: Conran Octupus ISBN: 1840914599
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. |
