"ChuangHua" pronounce in chinese meaning the traditional chinese tracery, which is the most fascinating element one's can find every corner in this city. I just want to have a unique furniture designed in structure, manufacturing technology, material used with cultural element. Tracery pattern and Red in White was used as festive and auspicious image. Sheet metal bending to give overall structure a simple clean and neat structure form.

Operation Flow: This chinese Tracery set of furniture fit for home deco, commercial space , hotel or studio.
