Plush sofas, fresh flowers, and a thoughtful collection of Asian objects of art form a rich backdrop for the varied styles of our furniture used in this client's home. The massive coffee table is one of a kind, made when large pieces of antique burl panels were still available as a salvaged material. The client's love of burl is evident, having even picked our burl wood front sideboard with a subtle hint of Japanese aesthetic impression.
We are grateful to the client in entrusting us the work to custom design and craft the Queen Ann style extendable dining table set. Perhaps the only similarity of this style to Ming style furniture is the cabriole leg. We undertook much research and design development work to ensure we can achieve the right mood and balance of details. In using the meticulous Ming joinery structure, coupled with the finest finishing standard with authentic Natural Lacquer, this may be an interesting example of cultural fusion. The chairs are shown before the inset seat cushions are placed.

宽大舒适的沙发，鲜花，还有细心挑选的一系列亚洲工艺品组成这客人丰富的居所环境，让我们的家具放置其中。那硕大的咖啡台是独一无二的，使用的大型古旧实木影木板现在已经绝迹了。这客人对影木的热爱从挑选了同样配备古旧实木影木板而带日本风的餐柜可见一斑。
我们也感激客人的信赖，让我们设计并制造安妮皇后风格的拉开餐台餐椅套装。安妮皇后风格跟中国明式风格可能只有三弯腿这共同之处。我们经过深入研究与思考才令我们的设计既能营造出安妮皇后风格，又达到舒服平衡的细节。这拉开餐台餐椅套装可能是一个文化交融的上佳例子，以明式的榫卯结构与最高标准的天然漆涂装效果来演绎传统西方的风格。照片内展示的椅子尚未装上软海绵座垫。

Each of the three legs are securely attached to the central post by four massive tongues. Bespoke crafting for styles like these are precious because it is purely hand made with absolutely no economy of scale. Commercial production emphasising on quantity and quick turn cycles never achieves the level of finesse displayed here.

餐台底座的每只脚都用上 4 个大型榫头稳固连接着中柱。这类特制款色是特别珍贵的，因为是纯手工制造而整个定制过程都只是用在单一的家具上。大规模工业生产强调的是产量与速度，跟我们的慢工细造当然不能相提并论。
