Bangkok Design: Thai Ideas in Textiles and Furniture

Modern Thai design is attracting a global audience. Since democracy was established in 1992, local designers have worked hard to institute their own unique style in the fields of music, fashion, design, film, art and architecture. Design being one of the more prominent, it has gained huge media acclaim and won numerous international awards. "Bangkok Design" profiles 35 of the best Thai designers whose work represents an eclectic mix of their culture - using natural materials and fine craftsmanship - and their own unique, individual style. The book explores a wide variety of designs ranging from minimalist to modernist, as well as discussing design related concepts that deal with cultural identity and sustainability. "Bangkok Design" is an inspirational source book for interior designers and architects as well as an impressive coffee-table volume.
