About The Entry

"Qingjin" is a furniture collection inspired by the attire of ancient Chinese scholars, translating the elegance of Eastern poetry into contemporary design. The series moves beyond mere functionality, serving as a bridge between millennia-old philosophy and modern living. Inspired by the elegance of ancient Chinese literati, "Qingjin" translates poetic heritage into contemporary form. Centered on the Eastern philosophy of the circle—symbolizing harmony and continuity—the design replaces rigid lines with soft curves, creating a fluid, serene aesthetic.

More than furniture, it is a flexible modular system crafted from Italian textiles and artisan finishes, allowing users to curate personalized spaces. "Qingjin" redefines modern luxury as a dialogue between cultural depth and sustainable living, offering a timeless sanctuary for the global home.

Materiality & Craftsmanship

Upholstery: Premium imported Italian fabric, offering a tactile balance of softness and durability.

Finishes: Artistic lacquer wood surfaces that mimic the depth of ink-wash paintings.

Hardware: 304 stainless steel treated with natural etching and antique brass plating, providing structural integrity with a vintage soul.

User Experience & Sustainability

Qingjin offers a sensory journey—visually serene and physically comforting. Its modularity ensures longevity through adaptability, reducing waste associated with changing trends or relocation. By using low-VOC finishes and recyclable metals, the design minimizes environmental impact while maximizing cultural value.
