Cornices

by Wei Jingye / 魏靖野 for Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts

This new Chinese furniture design includes Chinese chairs, Chinese cabinet shelves, Chinese flower stands, and Chinese palace lamps. Combined with the eaves elements of the Chinese architectural structure, the furniture innovation is carried out through the formal language of modern furniture, so that the mortise and tenon structure and the cornices design echo visually and structurally, and the choice of black walnut makes the dark wood and the soft curve of the cornices form a sharp contrast and harmony, so that the traditional Chinese furniture design glows with new vitality.
