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.
