China, long dormant in the world of design and residential architecture, has recently burst onto the world stage. Like everything else in China today, contemporary Chinese design combines elegant and deepseated traditions with the exploratory ideas of a younger generation of designers. From revitalised hutongs in Beijing and lane houses in Shanghai to shiny new villas in Pudong and sleek urban apartments in Hong Kong, the best modern Chinese interior design blends the legacy of the past with a fresh appetite for the new. This book by photographer-author Freeman, who has spent three decades recording Asian design trends, explores this burgeoning phenomenon with images taken in more than 100 gorgeous homes. China Home will be an indispensible sourcebook for everyone looking inspirational new ideas to create and re-work their living space.
