Description

Oriental Lifestyle will take you on a journey that shows and tells multiple and astonishing universes captured by a poetic eye. Like an enchanter, Guillaume de Laubier gives voice to the ochre of the desert and highlights the splendours and wonders of palaces and residences, rich in ancestral know-how. We discover the beautiful diversity of the Orient-Occident alliance, which has given birth to an innovative and colourful style in decoration. We stop in front of the skyscrapers, museums and modern villas that are revolutionising architecture and design in the Arab world. A book that revisits 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, but also Mauritania and Morocco. Désirée Sadek is a writer-journalist and author of numerous books, including "Le Cèdre du liban", which won the prix des sciences morales et politiques. She is the founder of byzance magazine, a gateway for decoration and lifestyle between the orient and the occident. She launched and is publishing the magazine Elle Décoration in the middle east. Guillaume de Laubier is a photographer specialising in lifestyle, Style and architecture. He captures better than anyone the singularity of charming and heritage places and bears witness to the worlds of artists and designers. His work, regularly published by numerous international magazines, has also been the subject of some thirty books with prestigious publishers in france and abroad.


Grâce aux exceptionnelles photographies de Guillaume de Laubier réalisées depuis plus de dix ans, Vivre l'Orient revisite la diversité de l'art de vivre, de l'architecture et du design oriental aujourd'hui, de l'Égypte à la Tunisie, en passant par le Liban, la Syrie, la Jordanie, la Turquie, l'Arabie saoudite, Bahreïn, les Émirats arabes unis, le Qatar mais aussi la Mauritanie et le Maroc. Cet Orient a été le théâtre de voyages et d'aventures extraordinaires, un ailleurs lointain, magique et inaccessible. Aujourd'hui encore, il suffit de l'évoquer pour faire apparaître un décor de dorures et de pierres précieuses. Pays du lait et du miel, des parfums enivrants et du faste sans limite, l'Orient est aussi celui du dénuement et de la pureté du désert aux couleurs ocres. Ses palais et demeures affichent la richesse du savoir-faire ancestral, et abritent aujourd'hui une variété d'influences empruntant autant à la décoration occidentale qu'aux traditions et arts locaux. Ces mélanges détonants donnent naissance à une identité à la fois singulière et haute en couleurs. Il en est de même pour les gratte-ciels, musées et demeures modernes qui fleurissent dans cet Orient contemporain et révolutionnent l'architecture et le design du monde arabe.
