Synopsis

Chinese art, architecture and design has a long history and comprises a blend of many elements: from an architectural tradition of wooden courtyard structures, it has evolved over the centuries to incorporate many different styles. Today’s interiors with a Chinese theme – each photographed in locations as diverse as Shanghai and Anhui in China, New york and Los Angeles in the USA, in Hong Kong, Singapore and other Southeast Asian destinations – are the main focus of this book. They range from formal, traditional metropolitan apartments featuring priceless antique furniture, through to examples of Shanghai art deco from the 1930s and the unique Peranakan shophouse, to modern manifestos of China Style.
