Production Technology: This furniture series uses solid wood plywood with bird’s eye maple veneer, finished with a heat-resistant, scratch-proof high-gloss coating. It features solid brass handles and silent hydraulic damping hinges. The cabinet structure adopts dual reinforcement for 30% higher load-bearing stability. Metal frames are laser-cut and CNC-bent for precision within 0.5mm, ensuring durability and refined craftsmanship.
Design Challenge: The core challenge was balancing user needs with technical and aesthetic constraints. Thermal expansion of wood and brass caused joint gaps, while integrated storage risked compromising the minimalist aesthetic. We addressed these by refining material selection, precision manufacturing, and design iteration to achieve harmony between functionality and elegance.
Research: This study explores applied affordable luxury furniture design, focusing on balancing aesthetics, functionality, and spatial adaptability for urban homes. Through user research, material experimentation, and iterative design, we verified a replicable design framework that creates commercially differentiated products aligned with modern home furnishing consumption demands.
Inspiration: The core inspiration for this collection stems from the collision between natural textures and contemporary aesthetics. Seeking to avoid excessive ostentation while expressing refined taste through subtle details, the design employs clean lines and a restrained color palette. The combination of black, gold and wood tones creates an atmosphere of sophistication.
Project Duration: The project commenced in Shenzhen in November 2025 and was completed in Shenzhen in February 2026.
Operation Flow: Our design emphasizes intuitive operation and user-friendly interaction for seamless daily use. Brass handles enable smooth cabinet opening with a simple pull. Internal shelves adjust via snap-in brackets to adapt to different storage needs. Rounded table corners (R5 radius) prevent accidental bumps, while built-in tabletop storage caters to family gatherings and leisure activities, balancing functionality with user comfort.
