Coffee Table Book Kyoto Serenity
£94
Price History
Description
The lively spirit of Kyoto is best experienced during Gion Matsuri, one of Japan's largest festivals. The parades of elaborate floats, called yamaboko, are art exhibitions in motion, presenting the exquisite local craftwork. This same attention to detail can be seen in the Japanese approach to architecture and interior design. Where Kyoto's festivals are colorful and over the top, the ubiquitous design aesthetic is more restrained and simplified, allowing the quality of the materials to speak for themselves and offering a respite from buzzing life in the city. Through the pages of KYOTO SERENITY, Japanese culture is on full display, exploring timehonored traditions such as geishas, tea ceremonies, and flowers. - Author: François Simon - Hardcover edition with 312 pages - Language: English - Publisher: Assouline Made in Italy
Our Stylist Says
I love this one for its rich storytelling and beautiful imagery of Kyoto’s serene traditions. It works particularly well in interiors that embrace an eclectic or culturally inspired style, adding colour and a sense of calm to living areas or reading nooks. For practical styling, I recommend pairing it with neutral accessories like matt ceramics or textured textiles to let the book be the star. Placing it on a minimalist coffee table or a sideboard will highlight its impact, making it an engaging conversational piece while infusing your space with a touch of Japanese tranquillity.
