{"product_id":"turkish-style","title":"Turkish Style","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Turkish home is a living tradition whose refinement has continued uninterrupted for over 10 000 years  from the earliest recorded dwellings of Middle Anatolia to the modern Istanbul townhouse. During this time  the rise and fall of great empires - Hittite  Byzantine  Ottoman -- has brought a mosaic of influences from as far afield as Africa and the Balkans. Certain felicitous principles have come to dominate Turkish domestic design: simplicity  economy  and a respect for human needs. Turkish Style draws aside the veil of privacy to lead us into these discreet  carefully hidden interiors. We see houses that have evolved to suit local conditions and needs  from the earthen buildings of Cappadocia and Kayseri and the whitewashed walls of the Aegean coast to the stone masonry of Middle and Eastern Anatolia. At the heart of the Turkish experience is Istanbul: a twentieth-century metropolis still filled with beauty and mystery  tinged with the colors of ancient cultures and past times. Old wooden buildings dream in huge gardens along the Bosphorus  the angles of contemporary apartments are softened with accessories and kilims; in every house are Turkish coffee pots  handmade embroideries  and colored glass. Throughout  spectacular color photography invites us to share in the enjoyment of these decorative marvels  bringing us closer than ever before to the design  the architecture  and the lifestyle of this entrancing culture.
