An exhibition promoting exchanges on habitat aesthetics, between the East and the West, was unveiled at the Dragon Hotel, Hangzhou, on Tuesday.

Casa, Flexform and Porada.

An inkslab by sculptor Lu Zhirong; a guqin (a Chinese plucked string instrument) by guqin-maker Wang Peng; works of calligraphy by Peking University Professor Xu Tianjin are also among the items of exhibition.
