Java Style

by Peter Schoppert, Tara Sosrowardoyo (Photographer)

Java Style is a photographic celebration of the architecture, interior design, furniture and lifestyles that make up Java's unique visual culture, and of the creative possibilities afforded by Java's rich stock of antiques and art objects.

A five hundred year old mosque's pavilions, the linked colonnades of the palaces of Java's sultans, neoclassically styled verandas of a colonial administrator's villa, the cloistered courtyard of an 18th-century Chinese mansion, public buildings that form part of the greatest flowering of art deco outside all these are the settings of Java Style.
