Thai style, so vividly revealed in its architecture and interiors, is the product of a distinctive landscape, blending varied influences and a history unique among the peoples of Southeast Asia. It is a style that can be found in country houses, royal palaces, chic private homes and even unmistakably contemporary interiors where new and old sit comfortably side by side.
In this exceptional book, more than 340 colour photographs by acclaimed photographer Luca Invernizzi Tettoni present a luminous vision of Thailand’s distinctive style.
William Warren introduces the photographs, placing Thai design in context and explaining the background to the subject depicted – Thai Forms; Traditions; Traditions Adapted; Foreign Influences; and Hotels and Resorts. A special Architectural Notbooks section provides useful scale drawings of architectural details. Together, words and pictures distil the essence of this fascinating and beautiful country.
