The art deco movement in the early 20th century left behind great architecture and decorative objects in the west that bear very distinctive styles. They may carry with them various elements of geometry, exoticism and lavishness. The suite of furniture we custom designed for this client pays homage to this era.

A lot of original art deco furniture was finished with shellac, the application process was called japanning then, hinting that the craftsmen were trying to mimic the lacquering effect as was used in japan. Little did they know that the process was transferred originally from China to Japan, otherwise they might have called it a different name. It is natural that when our fine lacquering technique is merged with geometric design elements the furniture yields a strong sense of art deco feeling, especially considering that fine art deco furniture, like ours, was all meticulously hand made.

二十世纪初从法国开始，之后席卷全球的艺术装饰风格运动留下了无数的建筑与物品瑰宝，全都带有鲜明的风格。它们或拥有抽象的几何线条，或大胆拥抱异国情调，或呈现豪迈的奢华气派。我们特意为这客户设计的家具是向这时代的风格致敬。

很多艺术装饰风格的家具都是用虫胶（士力）来涂漆的，工序当时被称为仿日本涂漆，暗示欧洲的公丈尝试模仿日本的漆器效果。他门可能不知道漆器技术是从中国传到日本的，否则他门可能会使用不同的名称。当我们的精细涂漆效果跟几何线条的设计细部结合后，结果散发出惊人的艺术装饰风格气氛实在是自然不过的。尤其是精细的艺术装饰风格家具，跟我们的如出一辙，都是用人手精工细造的。
