Asian Stylistics in modern interior design: lighting and accessories of Asian Style

This post due to the previous post devoted Original elements of Asian Style and Mood in interior design. I wrote about that the 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 lighting and accessories 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 of lighting and accessories 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 lighting and accessories with asian style from famous manufacturers and designers like Ralph Lauren, Vaughan, Currey and Company, Jonathan Adler, Moooi, Scenario Home, Uttermost, Jonathan Charles, Uttermost, Bull & Stein, Charles Paris, Crystorama, John Richard, Kathy Kuo, Cyan Design, Cattelan, Lalique and so on.

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.
