India Contemporary
Text and photographs by Henry Wilson

| ‘Sumptuous … filled with interiors that marry the sub-continent’s sensibility with up-to-the-minute style’ | | – The Times |
'… the text gives extra insight into the history and attitudes of all aspects of Indian culture …
a wonderful selection from an eclectic part of the world’ | | – Essential Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms Magazine |
Modern India flourishes its hybrid international culture, informed by its past yet transcending it. 'New Indian chic' is everywhere, from cuisine to fashion to film, not to mention yoga and ayurveda.
This book is an intimate exploration of the private homes of those at the forefront of the new approach to decoration and design. Here are interiors by Indians for Indians; by Indians for foreigners; by foreigners for foreigners and by foreigners for Indians – radically modern, allusively traditional, distinctively stylish.
Henry Wilson, whose perceptive photographs have done so much to bring the variety of India to the attention of the West, shows how the exotic combines with the international through a uniquely Indian sensibility.
Henry Wilson has contributed widely to magazines, among them Architectural Digest and The World of Interiors. His books include Benares(Thames & Hudson 1985) and London Interiors.
