We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Tropical Interiors" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Featuring over 250 photographs and insightful commentary, this topical interior design book will add a uniquely Asian-Pacific element to your home.

The Philippines is home to a new generation of craftsmen, including furniture makers, artists, sculptors, and weavers. They specialize in taking the indigenous materials of the countrypina, abaca, capiz shell, bamboo, rattan, to name a fewand producing contemporary items that would be as at home in a New York loft as on a tropical verandah. Harnessing both Asian- and Latin-inspired style and modern techniques, they produce a cornucopia of fine contemporary furniture and authentic furnishing items.

In this sourcebook of decorating and shopping ideas, these objects are presented within metropolitan and rural present-day interiors. From furniture and furnishings to table settings and lighting, all the homes, many never photographed before, are accented with artifacts in modern designs.

Tropical Interiors shows how Philippine style is clearly now a global phenomenon and can be applied to homes worldwide.

New Tropical Design
Soulful Creativity and 'Philippine Moderne'

A new generation of Filipino designers has, in recent years, been making design waves outside the Philippine archipelago. Designers are combining metal technology and native rattan weaving; splitting, bleaching and using abaca-rope in stylish ways; laminating coconut shells and twigs into biomorphic artworks; making soigne lounging chairs from seagrass and organic lamps from handmade paper; mixing fibreglass pipes with twigs and shells- and soulful creativity.

In September 1999, a designer consortium called "Movement 8" made a big splash in the furniture exposition in Valencia, Spain, displaying unique home items not yet seen on local shores. Curator Budji Layug had selected a stylish array of clean-lined, geometric furnishings made by Filipino designers- realizing his own vision of a purely moderne sensibility (deriving from Art-Deco, Bauhaus, and natural materials). The show stunned viewers, turned heads and opened doors. After Valencia, "Movement 8" won acclaim at virtually all the major furniture expositions, including New York's prestigious International Contemporary Furniture Fair in May 2001- when the Filipino designers took home the top award for craftsmanship.

In July 2001, the Washington Post carried the exciting design news that was syndicated across the USA- the Philippines' largest market for furniture.
