Synopsis
Blessed with a wealth of natural building materials to choose from, and grounded in design concepts that span urban and country living, Indonesian style has inspired some of Southeast Asia's most creative architecture and design. This book explores the latest trends in Indonesian design and offers a rich glimpse into how this archipelago has had such a wide influence, serving as a breeding ground for young, innovative designers. Ranging from metropolitan Jakarta to private island retreats and converted coffee plantations, Jacob Termansen's stunning photographs highlight the brilliant use of detail and reinvented applications of age-old architectural and design elements in modern settings. The book also offers sources for the contemporary tropical furniture and furnishings-made from exquisite natural materials-displayed in these beautiful island-style rooms., A tropical island inspires thoughts of warm breezes, crystal clear water and white beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. But tropical islands are more than just gorgeous beaches, particularly in the vast archipelago of Indonesia, with its diverse peoples, cultures and traditions stretching from Java to Bali and beyond. In "Island Style," the inspiration artists and designers have long found in Indonesia comes to life with a new generation of architects and designers as they discover this island paradise. 25 glorious houses inspired by the natural tropical settings of Indonesia are showcased in these pages. From private beach bungalows to vacation villas to island hideaways, each of these dream houses expresses a different aspect of Indonesia's unique design heritage.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
