Summary: Since the publication of Edward Said's groundbreaking work 'Orientalism' 35 years ago, numerous studies have explored the West's fraught and enduring fascination with the so-called Orient. Focusing their critical attention on the literary and pictorial arts, these studies have, to date, largely neglected the world of interior design. This book fully explores the formation and perception of eastern-inspired interiors from an orientalist perspective.
