Présentation de l'éditeur :
Zen. Soothing. Mystical. Meditative. All the most
serene words in the world couldn’t begin to describe the effect of
Asia’s most beautiful interiors. Whether it’s a monastery in Tibet, a
coffee plantation in Java, or a Tadao Ando-designed house in Japan,
each interior chosen for this book is remarkable not only for its
aesthetics but for its spirit. The book is “clothed” in a silk-like
curry-colored fabric adorned with chrysanthemum flowers. These
interiors have what it takes to transport you to a sacred place;
breathe deeply, delve in, and be inspired.
