Korea Style
Marcia Iwatate et Unsoo Kim

Discover the beauty and variety of Korean architecture and design! Simplicity, tradition, and a deep respect for all things natural--these are the basic elements of Korean style that underpin the nation's fast-growing creative movement, making Korea a leader in global fashion and design. Influences from China, Japan, and the West have filtered into Korea, but the peninsula has always maintained its own identity. Spatial, spiritual, and material qualities are reflected in the simple beauty of its architecture, while classic objects with a uniquely Korean aesthetic are used with panache in interior decoration.
