Why is it that our culture is full of admirations such as "clapping the table in surprise", "clapping the table in amazement", "shutting down at the desk and writing"... but never resonates with "slapping the table"? Why did the ancients attach great importance to the crime and neglect the table?

This is not only a difference in shape - the legs of the case are restrained and the body is modest, while the legs of the table are spread out and the function is straightforward.； It is also a spiritual distinction.

The seemingly simple case actually contains a profound cultural narrative. As the form changes, the cultural connotation also grows: from the solemnity of the ceremony, to the elegance of the study, to the majesty of the hall... Now, after being tempered by time and undergoing modern improvements, it has transformed into the poetic welcome of the entrance and the spiritual habitat of the study.…… 

It is no longer limited to one function, but it has always continued the character that is higher than daily life - allowing modern life to quietly recognize the thousand-year civilization in the pitch.

With an upward arc, it cuts through the silence of time - the raised desk has never been just a container for holding things, but also a miniature landscape in the oriental residence. When the traditional Chinese-style tilt-top desk moved from the quaint study room into the modern space, it became an aesthetic dialogue that spanned time.

The raised arcs at both ends of the table retain the oriental sense of ritual carried by the "upturned head" - it was once a solemn gesture for literati to unroll scrolls and worship utensils, but now it has become an elegant foreshadowing to welcome homecoming eyes.

The simple linear structure is used as the backbone, cutting out the clutter, and neatly reconstructing the muscles and bones, but still hiding the Chinese philosophy of "coexistence of virtuality and reality": the thickness of the solid wood and the transparency of the white space are intertwined, just like the light and shadow reflected by the leaky window in the garden, framing a "flowing tranquility" at the entrance.

The wood color, whose texture is like the veins of the earth, is smudged with the breath of nature, making every ornament placed on it become a line of poetry that continues the story of the East.

When it stands in the entrance hall or as a decorative shelf, it becomes a "cultural ferry" in modern life - while carrying the elegant genes of thousands of years of Chinese style, it also harbors contemporary people's yearning for poetic dwelling. In the folds of time, the aftertaste of oriental aesthetics slowly permeates daily life.

The case is a silent declaration of the dignity of etiquette, a lofty platform for worshiping heaven and earth, and writing mountains and rivers. It does not carry mundane affairs, but respect and thoughtfulness, elegance and state of mind. It is a high-level emotion that is almost ritual.

The arc of the table is like flowing clouds flying across the sky, light and agile, which is a freehand expression of the "rising spirit" in Chinese aesthetics.； The curved legs of the case are like the rolling outline of mountains, calm and honest, carrying the sense of stability of "the earth is the foundation".

One "raises" and the other "carries", one "empty" and one "solid", although the shape lines seem independent, they have reached a tacit understanding in the rhythm of the space: the flexibility of the table top gives the overall poetic lightness, and the solidity of the arc legs anchors the stability of the space, allowing the "dynamic" and "quiet", "spirit" and "stability" of Eastern aesthetics to quietly harmonize in this piece of furniture.

You can display your favorite things on the table and let the interest of oriental aesthetics flow.； The cabinet body seems to have been polished by time, with exquisite lines and textures of wood grain texture and metal decoration. ； Functional storage and organization life. “Hiding” and “revealing” achieve a delicate balance here.

"On Guo Qin" "Act as the supreme ruler and control Liuhe" and "then make Liuhe your home and Weihan your palace."

The hexagonal handle is by no means a simple opening and closing mechanism, but a philosophical seal on the cabinet. It uses a geometric shape to metaphor the grand pattern of "Liuhe" in Eastern cosmology - that is, the cosmic dimensions of heaven, earth, east, south, west and north. Wherever the fingertips touch lightly, a miniature world order seems to be tapping.

It not only coincides with the Chinese philosophy of the order of the universe, but also adds a finishing touch to the cabinet with a sense of geometric delicacy - as if the beauty of the world and the four directions are condensed into the key to unlocking the treasure of life, so that the daily storage is also full of the aftertaste of oriental aesthetics.
