taipei
When you visit Mandarin Oriental Taipei, do not just be marvelled by the grand splendor of the hotel building. Its fine restaurants may be much more the reason for deep admiration, all stylishly designed by New York based designer Tony Chi, world renowned for the elegant spaces he and his team designed all over the world.
We had the privilege to collaborate with Tony Chi in 3 restaurants: Ya Ge Chinese Restaurant, Bencotto Italian Restaurant, and Cafe Un Deux Trois restaurant. On top of bespoke solid wood furniture, we even created two piano finish spray painted white dining table.
Of all the pieces made, the ones that are the most remarkable are two units of enormous bookshelves. Each measuring W 1720 D 750 H 3530 mm, it is hard to contain one's amazement of the scale when standing right in front of it. The challenge is to ensure the stability of the form, and all the practical logistics considerations are well thought out in advance. Unlike typical contract furniture, any on site correction or fine tuning is extremely difficult if not impossible. We are thankful that the project team did a wonderful job of final execution on site. From the exceptional effect created, the risk taken was well worth it.

台北文华酒店
当您造访台北文华酒店，不要只被酒店壮丽的外观所吸引。内里的高级餐厅可能更值得深入欣赏，全都是以纽约为基地的室内设计师季裕堂与他的团队精心设计，他门在全球主要城市打造的多个丰富而优雅的项目令他门蜚声国际。
我们有幸参与协作的是三家高级餐厅：雅阁，Bencotto 与 文华 Cafe。除了主要的实木家具外，我们也制造了两张钢琴亮光喷漆的白色餐台。
在所有的家具当中，最为触目的是两个超大型书架。每个的体积是 W 1720 D 750 H 3530 mm，在书架面前观看时很难不惊讶于整个规模。对我们最大的挑战是保持整个形体的稳定，并在开始设计时就要对最终运输与安装流程有充分掌握。跟一般商用装修家具不同，对这么大形的实木家具来说，现场的微调或修正差不多全无可能。我们感恩项目团队最后的妥善安装工作。从非凡的效果来看，这风险是值得承担的。

Of all the crafting photos below, the one that deserves special attention is the one that shows the meticulous internal structure and finish of a big workstation cabinet for Ya Ge Chinese Restaurant, as well as the one that shows how we experimented with the quantity of down feather to create the exact feel for a relaxed loose seat pad for banquette seats.

在以下的照片中，最值得细看的是一张显示我们为雅阁中餐厅所制造的大形服务台柜内里的精密结构与涂漆过程。另一张有趣的是关于我们测试座椅皮革软垫内的羽绒密度，以达到随意的自然效果。
