Wyndham street
Hong Kong
Our old Wyndham Street showroom, opposite to the historic Central Police Station of Hong Kong, provides a pure space for the display of both simple lined and Ming style Chinese furniture. Built in 2007, it coincided with our increased emphasis on streamlined geometry on some of our then newly designed furniture.

香港文咸街
我们在香港中环云咸街的旧展廊刚好坐落于历史建筑中央警署对面。这展廊的纯净空间让中国明式与线条简单的家具清楚展示。从 2007 年开始使用，那时间刚好配合我们新设计的一系列刘丽几何形状的新家具。

The bedroom display shows well how furniture, all with various unfussy design elements, can work cohesively to a wholesome and noble effect - even with scant soft furnishings and other decorative objects. Shown in the foreground is coffee table LT 29, while canopy bed BD 10 is on the left.

The dresser, CA 56, is a textbook example of how Ming furniture spirit best informs a modern piece of furniture. Observe the attractive contrast between the glow of light in the concave moulding and the drawer surfaces showing subtle wood grain character.

这抽屉柜 CA 56 是明式家具精神融入现代家具的典范。细看微弯木方面上的柔和光影变化，和抽屉面板上隐约可见的木纹。

Rather than using authentic Natural Lacquer, we use a combination of shellac and wax oil to achieve the natural finish effect for TA 64 dining table. Its top surface allows an expansive display of the figures of solid Cambodian Rosewood boards. The highlight of this piece is in its hidden construction for the table top - Ming furniture architecture concealed under a clean and modern exterior. It is quite possibly the most ingenious structure for a modern dining table top.

TA 64 餐台用上的涂漆包括士力与天然蜡油，而不是漆，让木材呈现不修饰的天然效果。台面是几块高棉花梨实木板并合，所以广阔吸引的木纹尽入眼底。这家具的最重要特点是隐藏在台面板内的明式榫卯结构。这可能是摩登简洁款色的餐台中拥有最精妙构造的餐台。

We designed the round corner console table, Table 54, based on the ubiquitous Ming style round corner single slab console table. Above the table is hung a black and white photo of the front post of Cabinet 56. The complexity of just a piece of wooden member is enormous. Consider how these factors shape its crafting - the concave mouldings, concave edges, groove for side panels, top slanting angles made for the slotting in of horizontal frames, joints for the attachment of side braces, and finally the multiple vertical tongues to be inserted into the underside of the top frame.

我们是以传统明式圆角独板条桌作为蓝本来设计这现代化的 TA 54 條桌。墙上挂着的照片清楚显示 CA 56 抽屉柜前柱的榫头与表面结构，它的复杂性令人赞叹。看看它的造型受到多少因素影响：微弯的木方表面，缩入的边线，预留给侧板的榫槽空间，相接顶部横木方的 45 度角斜边，需要让正面其他橫木方與側面橫貫插進的榫頭空間，最後當然是程 L 型的榫頭以插進頂部橫木方。

CH 11 takes the form of classic Ming style south official's hat armchair. Splat is with peony relief carving, and rattan seat is supported by woven palm string web support at the bottom. Come up close to appreciate the finely finished armrest, with authentic Natural Lacquer and endless cycles of sanding and polishing.

CH 11 的设计是忠于传统明式南官帽扶手椅子的规律。靠背板上是牡丹雕刻，而藤席座底面是编制紧密的棕绳网状结构。细看扶手上像水一样的光泽，是经无数刮磨上漆工序打造而成。
