Das eigene Wohnhaus in Lunuganga, 60 Kilometer südlich von Colombo, war sein Gesellenstück, das 5-Sterne-Hotel in Kandalama eines der Meisterwerke. Der Name Geoffrey Bawa ist in Europa immer noch ein Insidertipp, im asiatischen Raum gehört er längst zu den gefeierten Kultfiguren der Architektur. Wer sich auf Reisen durch Sri Lanka begibt, kommt an seinem gern kopierten Baustil nicht vorbei. Bawa entwickelte das, was man heute als »Tropische Moderne« bezeichnet: minimalistisch reduzierte Betonstrukturen, die auf traditionelles Handwerk und Naturmaterialien stoßen und der Natur größtmöglichen Freiraum gewähren. Was heute zum globalen Trend avanciert ist, praktizierte Bawa bereits seit den 1950er-Jahren: grüne Architektur, naturnahes Bauen. Ein wichtigste Bauprinzip liegt in den faszinierenden Blickachsen. Eindrücklich dokumentiert die Fotografin Giovanna Silva Bawas Privathäuser, Schulen und Hotels, die ihr auf dem Weg durch Sri Lankas Dschungel begegnet sind.Der sriklankische Architekt und Anwalt GEOFFREY BAWA (1919–2003) studierte Jura, dann Architektur in England. Seit den späten 1950er-Jahren entwickelt sich sein Werk, mit dem er eine lebendige Architekturszene in seiner Heimat begründete. 2001 erhielt er den Aga Khan Chairsman’s Award for Architecture für sein Lebenswerk.
Die Fotografin GIOVANNA SILVA lebt in Mailand. Als Bildredakteurin arbeitete sie für Domus und Abitare. Teilnahme an der 14. Architekturbiennale in Venedig mit ihrem Projekt Nightswimming. Diskotheken in Italien von 1960 bis heute. Sie ist Gründerin und Vorsitzende von Humboldt Books.

Nice decor for the bed
Size: Twin/Twin XL, Color: Black
Ordered this in black and it looks nice in the bed that doesn’t have a headboard . It comes nicely sealed and once you take it out you need to keep hitting both sides to fluff it up throughout the day . This is not a firm pillow , but if left alone on the bed it holds up and looks nice . Once you lay on it then it feels like an over fluffy pillow that keeps you upright in a comfortable way . There is no smell so that as a plus . Nice decor for the bed !

Buttons
Size: King, Color: Dark Grey
Here's what I like:
Appearance. I like the color and how it looks on my bed. It looks appropriate for a king sized bed.
Removable cover. It was easy to take the cover off and wash, which I appreciate because I like my bedding to smell fresh and clean.
What I don't like:
It is a bit softer than I would like. But I can live with it. I thought it was a foam pillow inside, not fill. Maybe my fault though for not reading description or reviews.
Quality. This is the biggest issue driving the rating. I removed the over upon opening the item so I could wash it. The buttons are attached the the inside cover. When removing the outside cover, you have to unbotton them. They are not secured well at all. From what I can tell the threading goes through the inside cover through the fill to the button on the opposite side. I suspect this because 4 buttons came off when I removed the outside cover. They are very loosely secured to each other. Be gentle when removing and replacing the cover. Now I will have to thread the buttons again and secure it. Just a pain for a brand new item.
Should I expect that for the cost of the item? I dunno. Could have been a higher rating, but, damn those buttons.

Nicer than the pictures!
I bought this for my wife for Christmas and it’s been a game changer for watching TV in bed. I was always having to double up on pillows and having to adjust them because they’re down and kinda deflate lol. The green color is super pretty too! Quality so far has been really good!

Pretty, but very practical.
Size: Full, Color: Mint Green
The color was exactly what I expected from the photo. It arrived in an unbelievably small package, but expanded quickly once I opened the bag. I waited the recommended 24 hours to be sure it was done. I am pleased that the length is a perfect fit, and I like that it comes up to the back of my neck when I'm sitting in bed. It is a bit softer than I originally imagined, but not so soft that I feel like I'm sinking through it. It's very pleasantly supportive. The fabric is like a soft ribbed corduroy with piping along the outer seam. It looks nice. Both ends have a pocket that is barely noticeable, but is the perfect size to keep your phone close by. I'm temporarily homebound and spending a lot of time sitting in bed, so I'm very glad I invested in this pillow for comfort and convenience. If you ever have trouble with pillows working their way under the edge of the headboard, and into the dusty space between the headboard and the wall, consider this problem solved.

Measure your bed and space, I did and ordered the perfect fit!
Size: Queen, Color: Navy
Love this wedge pillow. I bought it for our boat stateroom bed. It fits perfectly as beds on a boat are always odd sizes. It is very comfortable allows me to sit up in bed to read. Also keeps our bed pillows from sliding back. Good quality, color and size.
