The book begins by studying the classical architecture including the balance of space and layout, and the traditional design principles of yin and yang. The second chapter looks at colour, lighting and wallpaper as well as the ceremony of eating and tea drinking. Chinese style is largely expressed through detail and the following chapters explore furniture, Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Why so mean with photos? It's a beautiful book, but why so mean with the photos? I by this kind of book to be inspired and expect to see a great number of seductive photos of objects in the Chinese Style. The most annoying thing is to be presented with only two pictures on a spread and they show exactly the same things, one is a close-up and the other from afar. Sorry, possibly a three-and-a-half star (because the book is well structured and designed), but no more.
