INDIA CONTEMPORARY
Henry Wilson
Contemporary interior design combining the exotic with the international through a uniquely Indian sensibility
A dramatic resurgence is under way in India as the country flourishes its exciting hybrid style, informed by the past yet transcending it. "New Indian chic" is everywhere, from cuisine to fashion to film, yoga to ayurveda, and this book explores the worldwide upsurge of interest through a wonderful array of contemporary Indian interiors.
India today is much more than the exotic East of traditional crafts. The book takes us into the private homes of those at the forefront of the new approach to decoration and design. Here are interiors by Indians for Indians, by Indians for foreigners, by foreigners for foreigners, and by foreigners for Indiansradically modern, allusively traditional, distinctively stylish.
