the craft and complexity of making Chinese furniture is unsurpassed, in the world, but have until recent years been regulated in the realm of reproducing historical models and hence never entered the vision of modern/contemporary design.
Jerry Chen and his brand CHUNZAI pioneered breaking the rules, taboos, restrictions of the industry and fostered the current surge of new upcoming designers in China; followers/copycats include Hermes' pet [modern Chinese luxury] project/brand 'SHANGXIA', whose many designs are basically 'lifted' directly from CHUNZAI's archives...
every piece of furniture is handcrafted out of the best hardwoods, and put together without a singular nail. each piece averages 30+ different individual steps to make.
all reverence re danish woodworking pales in comparison.
