Product Description

Thailand is known for its beautiful handicrafts, both traditional and contemporary. It is no wonder that some of the most beautifully decorated homes in the world can be found here. Contemporary Thai is a veritable explosion of design, color, material, form and function, as breathtaking rooms take shape around the "found" object. As we range from Chiang Mai in the north to metropolitan Bangkok, from gardens to dining rooms and verandahs, we are treated to an amazing array of contemporary items-modernist furniture, table settings, light fixtures and furnishings-that combine old traditions, new styles and the texture and look of indigenous materials. Cutting edge, elegant and a lot of fun, Contemporary Thai is the perfect book for anyone looking to add a distinctive touch to their home decor.
