Design Challenge
The design of the cornices series comes from the design elements of the cornices in ancient Chinese architecture, which represent the combination of spatial extension, structural strength and natural aesthetics, but also faces the challenges of balancing function and aesthetics, the complexity of the production process and market acceptance.
Research
This design is inspired by the elements of ancient Chinese architectural cornices, through the application of black walnut material and mortise and tenon structure, the cornice series furniture not only has stability and durability, but also highlights the aesthetic characteristics of Chinese design, by integrating traditional Chinese elements into modern homes, creating a Chinese-style home artwork with a sense of the times.
Inspiration
Cornices are cleverly applied to the form of the furniture. The cornice design is derived from the eaves of ancient Chinese architecture, symbolizing elegance and freedom, which can make the whole furniture more three-dimensional and dynamic. Through the integration of this traditional Chinese design element, it not only strengthens the visual layering of the furniture, but also further shows the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
Project Duration
The design had started in Shenyang in January 2024, completed in Shenyang in June 2024, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2024.
Operation Flow

The Chinese palace lamp provides lighting and creates a warm and simple atmosphere, while the Chinese cabinet rack is used to store items and has decorative functions. The series of furniture through the integration of aesthetics, craftsmanship and cultural connotations, jointly build a space with traditional charm, modern comfort and unique artistic atmosphere.
