Trædelene er CNC-fræset af bæredygtig jarrah, og metaldelene er CNC-fræset af messing. Detaljerne er laseretset. Bordet måler 861 mm x 994 mm x 672 mm. Målet er at bringe kinesisk designindflydelse ind i moderne møbelkunst på en respektfuld måde.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Emperor is the first of the Imperial Furniture Series, born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology.

Tags: Emperor, table, luxury, chinese, neo-sino, dragon
Production Technology: CNC routed out of sustainable Jarah.
CNC milled out of brass.
Details were laser-etched.
Design Challenge: Attempt to combine traditional Chinese design methodologies with contemporary design practices.
Research: Neo-Sino believes that modern high design is derived almost exclusively from western design influences such as the neo-classism and Bauhaus movements. In addition to this, western influence has instigated much of the socioeconomic development of Asia in the last few centuries, resulting in many Asian designs falling short as poor western imitations.
Inspiration: Emperor is born of the novel Neo-Sino design methodology, coined by the designer Tiger ChongSheng Guo. Neo-Sino aims to reintegrate true Chinese design influence into the societies of high design, whilst remaining respectful of contemporary design methodologies and values.
