A catalog of Indian style and design
Look, its Indian design! Everyone has heard of Japanese and Scandinavian design, but few know that India also has a long history of design. It doesnt permeate the culture as deep as Japan or Scandinavia, but I know from living there that India does have a critical mass of distinctly unique objects. To help pin down the essentials of that style, this catalog of India design examples makes a case that there is a very functional design approach both in historic and modern India. This is the first book I know of that presents that style in one place.
