This beautiful book examines contemporary subcontinental design and craft and places it within the context of native traditions and history.

Herbert Ypma travelled across India to bring together this array of astonishing images of buildings, textiles, ceramics and people. Together with a perceptive text on a variety of subjects (from the Indian use of colour to traditional methods of hand-looming ikat cloth), the images provide and insight into the mergence of an exciting aesthetic that combines traditional forms and contemporary designs.
