Bali: Sustainable Visions (inbunden, eng)

A lush and vibrant exploration of environmentally sustainable tropical design—updated with the latest stunning homes and resorts.

With its tropical beauty, rich spirituality, and traditional arts, the island of Bali has drawn to its shores an international tribe of artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs.

Now, as Bali faces the ecological challenges arising from mass tourism and rapid economic development, this visionary tribe has led the way in creating a new kind of environmentally sustainable tropical style, based in natural materials—bamboo, thatch, wood, stone, even mud—and inspired by vernacular forms.

In Bali: Sustainable Visions, Isabelli Ginanneschi’s gorgeous, light-filled photographs take us inside more than two dozen homes, resorts, and businesses on Bali as well as other islands of the Indonesian archipelago that have begun to attract Bali’s design pioneers.

In wide-ranging interviews, the creators of these unique spaces reveal how they have harmonized their visions with nature, even while maintaining the highest degree of elegance, luxury, and individuality.

This new edition of Bali: Sustainable Visions is updated to include the latest creations of the island’s design community.

It will be an essential source book and an inspiration for anyone with an interest in environmentally conscious design.
