It's easy to see why Eastern-inspired décor has become so popular in Western countries like our own.

With its striking Zen appeal, this artisan-made unique piece infuses your home with a thoughtfully crafted sense of harmony. In addition to adding a visual touch of this rich culture to your patio, the Emperor gong - handcrafted by musician and instrument designer Garry Kvistad with more than just appearance in mind - fills your living space with the melodious sounds of the Far East as well. If this stunning work leaves you wanting more, then make sure that you also check out the Serene Buddha panel that we recently featured. (Available at VivaTerra for $75.)
