Designed in China

As China has emerged as one of the major global economic powers, it has also become a top player in the international design world, and design is encouraged throughout the country by education programs, innovative facilities, and communication briefs on a scope never seen in previous decades. The result is a revolution of innovation in a broad range of areas including fashion, graphic design, interior design, architecture, and product design. Designed in China is packed with more than 600 photos of the most exciting projects created by today's top Chinese designers. Covering everything from furniture to lighting fixtures, jewelry, tableware, installations, and wall décor, the designs included in this collection are both contemporary and cosmopolitan, with a wealth of imagery drawn from big city living but still incorporating the functional elegance of traditional aesthetic Chinese design philosophies such as feng shui.
