Olympic inspiration
October 25, 2008
I hope that the Olympics "show" reminded the world how contemporary and fashion-forward the ancient Chinese culture is. Living in Texas, I’ve experienced, quite often, a southern city’s tendency to resist Asian influenced design. Unlike the east and west coasts of the U.S. where Asian style has always been included in decor, southern states tend to be less interested. I hope that the Olympics have broadened the view for those who think the Chinese only brought red lacquer and paper lanterns to the design world. My personal favorites for the U.S. consumer: pure white ginger jars grouped in various sizes, Tang pottery, antique ancestral chairs with custom box cushions, celadon vessels and architectural fragments on custom made metal and acrylic art stands. --Greg O'Neal
