Asian Stylistics in modern interior design: original elements of Asian Style and Mood

Asian stylistic in interior design is eternal theme for artists and interior decorators.
Asia is the largest and most populous part of Eurasian continent of the Earth which consists of different countries, nations and ethnicities with different beliefs and religions including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism and many others as well. It's one of the world’s oldest and most ancient civilization of ourdays. Cultural and artistic traditions of Asia have have their roots in times long past and highly diverse and deep. When we talk about Asia we mean China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and others. Therefore, we need to keep in mind the diversity of cultures and multifaceted nature of artistic traditions.
Asian theme could be understood and interpreted broadly in context of interior design. Primarily it is the easten philosophical reflection and specific organization of living space with original characteristics and attributes. Asian stylistic in interior design may be presented in different ways, such as existence of authentic objects in contemporary interior: products of decorative and applied arts, antique things, modern handcraft and artisanal products from spesific Asian regions. But to my mind, more interesting direction is the author’s understanding of Asian artistic phylosophy and its individual interpretation in the context of modern industrial design. Many of famous mainstream furniture manufactures have a group of products with explicitly marked of Asian spirit. They are modern personal approaches to sensation and understanding of traditional Asian colors, ornaments, shapes, ideas, storylines and decorative compositions. Like a "new look" )) Like impressionism: we create a new items with Asian style based on our own feelings and emotions. Most of the following examples have a marked effect of Asian stylistic but some of these have just tiny hints of Asian artistic vision like literature allusions.
Here is some examples of original interior furniture elements of asian style from famous manufacturers and designers like Theodore Alexander, Baker, Currey and Company, Stanley Furniture, Roche Bobois, Moooi, Walter Knoll, Hickory Chair Furniture, Hooker Furniture, Koket, Johnatan Charles, Andrew Martin, Mis en Demeure, Memoir Essence, Barbara Barry, Caracole, Jonathan Adler, Stanley Furniture, Nuryba Decor and so on.
