Oriental Lifestyle

Oriental Lifestyle will take you on a journey that explores astonishing artistic and architectural worlds, captured by a poetic eye.

Like an enchanter, Guillaume de Laubier brings the ochre of the desert alive and highlights the splendour and wonders of palaces and residences rich in ancestral knowledge and history. We discover the beautiful diversity of the Orient-Occident alliance, which has given birth to an innovative and colourful style of decoration. We stop in front of the skyscrapers, museums, and modern villas that are revolutionising architecture and design in the Arab world. This is a book that celebrates the diversity of the art of living, architecture and design in the East today, from Egypt to Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and also Mauritania and Morocco. Text in English and French.
