内容简介 在线阅读本书
Chinese interior design is a kaleidoscope of competing influences: scholarly gardens versus opium dens, imperial palaces standing side-by-side with concrete-and-steel high rises, and rural simplicity contrasting urban chaos.
China Style looks at interiors that draw from this vivid and powerful tradition. It includes examples of Shanghai Art Deco and the unique Peranakan shop house, as well as modern clubs sumptuously furnished with glittering fabrics and Chinese design motifs, minimalistic glass houses, and restaurants with a cultural-revolution flair. Photographed in locations as diverse as Shanghai, New York, Hong Kong, and Minneapolis,
China Style shows how Chinese tradition is constantly being reinterpreted to produce a fresh and dynamic style of contemporary design.
专业书评 From Library Journal Relying on contemporary Chinese commercial and domestic interiors, primarily in Hong Kong and Shanghai, this work presents a sophisticated urban interpretation of Chinese design style. The designs range widely, with some incorporating pieces of Chinese furniture and decorative accessories and others drawing on historic Chinese domestic style. For large interior design collections.

--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist The next best thing to an 18-hour flight to the Far East could be viewing the 36 different spaces here that have
China written all over them. Text becomes superfluous to the brilliantly colored photographs (from Michael Freeman) that show personal and commercial interiors in, for the most part, New York, London, California, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. In fact, this resembles "lifestyles of the rich and famous," because many of the antiques and accessories pictured, from Tibetan carpets to Ming furniture, are now astronomically priced. Nonetheless, the more than five periods--Ming and Qlng, Chinoiserie Old and New, the new Shanghai style, and China Modern--though not radically distinctive, do showcase a new way to look at design, with balance, order, and harmony valued above all else. And in conclusion, journalist Leece tries to give tips, through product photographs, about achieving a China-style look.
