New Asian Style: Contemporary Tropical Living in Singapore

Featuring over 300 beautiful photographs and extensive commentary, New Asian Style blends the chic designs of modern Asia with the traditional sensibilities of traditional art from across the region.

More than ever before, interior design is a global affair. And more than ever, Westerners are eager to try out elements of Asian design and architecture. This book is the ultimate resource for professional and amateur designers seeking to recreate the mysterious elegance, balance, and beauty of Asian design. Through the magic of Masano Kawana's beautiful full-color photography, New Asian Style explores more than 30 stunning contemporary houses and homes from Singapore, all of which stand as examples of interior decorating and style that transcend their Eastern origins.

In an effort to help designers pick up Asian ideas for their own settings, Jane Marsden's essays examine what elements make Asian style and how they might be captured in new settings anywhere in the world.
