[From front jacket flap] From a prize-winning hotel in Kobe to a modern corporate guesthouse near Mount Fuji, this book shows the versatility and elegance of the design work of Micky Nakayasu. As an interior designer and consultant who has lived in the United States and Japan, she brings a unique East-meets-West perspective to her projects. Her goal is to create spaces that provide a sense of comfort and balance. Micky Nakayasu says of her approach, "I try to give all my interiors a standard of design usually found only in the most exclusive properties." She believes that good design should not be a privilege.
