Step into a world where ancient tradition meets breathtaking contemporary design — Inside Asia is an extraordinary visual odyssey through the private homes, palaces, and interiors of Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and Indonesia. Photographer Reto Guntli's lens captures the rich textures, vibrant colours, and meticulous craftsmanship that define Asian domestic spaces, while journalist Sunil Sethi's authoritative text illuminates the cultural narratives and personal stories that breathe life into each remarkable setting. Curated by the legendary Angelika Taschen and published in the signature grand-format style that Taschen is celebrated for, this volume stands as both a definitive design reference and a work of art in its own right. It chronicles the diversity of Asian aesthetics — from the zen minimalism of Japanese interiors to the ornate opulence of Indonesian estates — presenting a sweeping argument that Asia's design heritage is among the most sophisticated and inspiring on the planet. For anyone captivated by beauty, culture, and the art of living, this is a volume that will leave you forever transformed in how you see the world's most dynamic continent.
