Documenting recent shifts in consumer behavior and burgeoning new social and economic realities, this coedition produced in China offers a fascinating overview of theme bars and restaurants across the nation, venues that either propose eye-popping decor ideas, or more simply exemplify current trends in interior design at international level. The book, whose original contents and format have been faithfully maintained, proves the rapidity with which western formal and compositional models are being assimilated in Asia, while demonstrating a keen ability to integrate these with contemporary Chinese design philosophy and local tradition.
