When I started importing from Indonesia, my wares seemed to
confuse people. They didn’t understand them. Within a few years, the beauty of ethnic
design was starting to be appreciated by a broader market. Whenever I opened
Architectural Digest, I spotted at least one piece in nearly every environment,
even if it was just a statue or a coffee table. Today, with the world getting
smaller and people traveling more, people are generally becoming more
sophisticated. Now, the beauty of hand-made furniture and world design graces
many homes.
Here I have collected examples from India, Indonesia,
Morocco, Bali, Mexico, Africa and other places. In some, you see the
representation of one country only. In others, a blending of countries. Some rooms
mix ethnic pieces with contemporary upholstered furniture to render the room
both pleasing and comfortable.
