Every square inch of John Ang’s home bears the mark of his many passions. The textile historian is somewhat of a Renaissance man with his talents extending to interior decorating, yoga, dance and art history.

All is reflected through the works of art that adorn the walls of his home, his prized antiquities and textiles as well as his beloved book collection.
