colours and textures from the sea and garden are captured in the room through
the blue green theme of the fabrics, contrasted by the rich wood of cherry, teak,
ebony and coconut. Rich contemporary botanical patterns are provided by Jim Thompson
cushions blending with the contemporary rattan weave furniture, while the artwork
also blends the contemporary and the traditional, the local and the international
by using mother of pearl, local tobacco leaves, and the inspiration from the local
flora and fauna. The overall effect is that of a luxurious sea view room with
the comfort and relaxed character that Sabahan culture represents. | |
