Mao Guo’s core value “essence” is a combination of “wood” and “one” in Chinese characters, pursuing ways to combine tradition and innovation. With 40 years of outstanding inherited woodworking craftsmanship, they know how to use professional skills and experience to integrate traditional aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
Since Mao Guo has its own carpenter team and factory, they could directly respond to customers’ needs and offer the best design solutions. While marrying woodworking with innovation as its process, the Chinese character “Ben" is the result of it, that they always remember the original intention, the essence, the reason why one started to design.

The main concept of Mao Guo’s design is “conversation through ideas.” The spatial construction should not be just black and white. Mao Guo cares more about the connection between people. Thus, by focusing on how to integrate objects and abstract elements such as perceptions, emotions, experience, memory into the space, design can boost conversations and interactions between space and people. Mao Guo insists on keeping the diversity, combining physical and psychological aspects of design, creating a place that is meaningful to people. Thus, where there is life, there is a meaning.
