About Asian Style
Asian style lighting gets its inspiration from Japanese and Chinese architecture. Spare simplicity and uncluttered design are the hallmarks of Asian style, which brings a feeling of serenity, peace, and calm to a living space.
Sweeping simple horizontal curves set on angled verticals, reminiscent of Buddhist temple architecture, is frequently seen in Asian style lighting. One expression is porcelain table lamps hand-painted (usually blue on white) with figures in landscape scenes, sometimes with animals, other creatures, and stylized florals. Other Oriental motifs include bamboo and chrysanthemums.
