Asian Fusion
Kara Cox -- Home Accents Today, 1/1/2005
Contemporary heads East with a modern glance at an age-old culture. Asian influences work their way into contemporary style with spiritual references, modern graphics and clean, elegant lines. Luxurious fabrications, lacquered designs and art glass define a look that is timelessly up-to-date. Exotic fashion seeps into current design with Asian influences mixing culture with contemporary.
