Japanese painter Taro Okamoto once said, "I always want to produce works that make people who dislike my work to frown and say, 'What's that?' and also to disappoint those who like my work."

Perhaps this could sum up what the Asian design scene is like now. Eastern designers are blazing new trails with work that defies conventions. Their design is not like anything we have seen before because the word 'imitation' is not in their dictionary. They have found their voice, a voice we will be hearing more and more of in the years to come.

The East, which is famed for its business saviness and get-go attitude, is now seizing the interrational media's attention for its burgeoning creative scene. From design to art, fashion to architecture to film, Asia's creatives are scooping awards and earning critical acclaim. Their style is distinctive,a celebration of traditions, an indulgence in the present and a wink at the future. With refreshing work and detailed interviews, the book opens your eyes to the muse of Asia and unfolds the uniqueness of the hottest talents from the East.
