New Chinese style makes mahogany furniture nondescript
If you dare to call a family, you must have great talents. Not just entrepreneurs, but also furniture designers, architects, interior designers, painters and potters. Mr. Guangguang Hao, the chairman of the carpenter’s family, who has integrated the art forms of different aesthetics and is familiar with the evolution of mahogany furniture, sharply throws three subversive views in an interview with the Information Times reporter. He believes that the complex mahogany furniture concept and The name is only a means for merchants to obtain huge profits; the new Chinese furniture is non-negative; the mahogany furniture is not "three-point material, seven-point craft", but "nine-point material, one-point craft", the craft is used Improve aesthetics instead of abusing so-called craftsmanship to cover up ugliness.
The color of the redwood, to distinguish the taste of the rosewood Sian rosewood, dimple Dalbergia, Bali Dalbergia, Siamese rosewood, red rosewood ... ... all along, the mahogany furniture tree species scientific name and common name and corporate naming coexistence phenomenon for consumers Very awkward. The “New National Standard for Mahogany Furniture†implemented in 2013 must clearly indicate the materials and production areas, which has improved the situation. However, in recent years, the prices of raw materials have risen several times, and the signs of wood species in the market have become chaotic. How do you see this phenomenon? How do consumers easily and effectively identify redwood species?
Qiang Guanghao: Consumers identify and purchase mahogany furniture, which has been based on the five categories of eight types of 33 woods specified in the 2000 "Redwood National Standards". So many kinds of wood species, but also the scientific name is a common name, so that the consumers feel that the water of the mahogany furniture is very deep, why not let the people make it clear? In fact, the water of the mahogany is very shallow. It is a part of the bad business to mix the water in order to make money, so the water can only fish.
What is a sour branch? What is Sian rosewood? What color is redwood? What is the taste of the rosewood? In fact, since ancient times, mahogany has been named for its color. Redwood is red wood, which is red rosewood. The reason why sour branches are called sour branches is because they smell obvious acid and scent; why is the red rosewood in Laos called saffron yellow? sandalwood? Because this kind of material is produced in ancient Jiaozhi County, now Vietnam, the redwood used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties comes from Jiaozhi. Although most of the acid branches used in modern times are from Laos, the scientific name is still Sian rosewood, commonly known as Laohong red rosewood. It is as simple as judging the quality of the mahogany, the taste of the acid sticks, and the quality of the oil. And the red rosewood is the most beautiful wood on the earth! I am a painting artist. I made more than 2,000 sour paintings with red rosewood sheets. They are beautiful and different! Anyone who has seen it is stunned and stunned by the beauty of the rosewood!
Why is the hype of mahogany a commercial act? Those who confuse the scientific name of the mahogany with the deliberate complexity are all bad business methods for earning higher profits. To give a typical example, for a long time, the African Lushi black sassafras was pretending to be a large-leaf rosewood in the market. Later, consumers gradually realized that it was not a rosewood, but a Dalbergia, and could not be called a red sandalwood. Changed to call it African black rosewood: "Red sandalwood" turned into a "sour branch". In ancient times, the real black rosewood, black and red, sour and fragrant, oil is particularly good, and there is no semi-finance relationship with Lushi black rosewood! For example, Zambia blood sandalwood, how many merchants pretend to be Indian lobular rosewood; African pear is called African huanghuali; Burmese rosewood is called Burmese huanghuali; Burmese rosewood is called white rosewood. Really nice! If all the wood species of Dalbergia are called sour branches, then Hainan Huanghuali (Dangxiang Dalbergia) should be renamed Hainan rosewood! Hainan Huanghuali does not have this need! But a lot of cheap wood is vying for the "thigh" of the sour, because it is difficult to sell high prices without the label of the rosewood.
"Redwood furniture" is a cultural category, and "Redwood" is a material category. Two related, but not a replacement, in fact, I think that the current market is collectively called mahogany furniture, which is a classical style made of relatively hard wood. And the structure of the furniture, so understanding, not all are made of mahogany material.
Mahogany furniture must be functional and aesthetic In order to enhance the comfort of mahogany furniture and attract more young people to buy mahogany furniture, new Chinese concepts and products have flooded major furniture fairs and specialty stores in recent years. How do you view mahogany furniture? Design innovation?
Qiang Guanghao: Redwood furniture has always been the hardest hit area for plagiarism. Copying the Ming style, copying the clear type, copying and copying is Wang Shizhen's "Ming-style furniture treasures", so the Redwoods have a period of time called antique furniture. We can't deny that Wang Shizhen, I respect Mr. Wang Shizhen, but the styles he contains do not represent all the ancient furniture, and he sorts out the past, does not represent the aesthetic standards of modern and future. Why are mahogany furniture only in Ming and Qing styles, and even in the Republic of China for only a few decades, already have the style of the Republic of China, but there is no new Chinese style? In order to meet the aesthetic and comfort needs of modern people, major manufacturers are making new Chinese styles. I think that the new Chinese style is not mature or even rustic. Many so-called new Chinese styles have made ancient things nondescript.
What is innovation? It is personality, and the personality retains commonality. As long as it contains classical elements, it is called New Chinese? this is not right. I have seen many new Chinese products, such as the official hat chair, cut in half, and half of the official hat backrest. Is this called the new Chinese style? There is also the height of the official hat chair. When people sit down, they feel like they are judges at home. Is this called the new Chinese style? These weird designs are not aesthetic, just bluntly.
Real innovation is the sublimation of aesthetics and function. My mahogany furniture design works have obtained dozens of national design patents. My design philosophy is to provide tools that guests can communicate with: for example, if you are sitting on this sofa, the first action is to put your hand on the armrest, you will touch it, feel its temperature and smooth, you are Communicate with hundreds of years of life. At the same time, I want to provide something with Chinese meaning. For example, I have a set of "Colour Horn Sofa" series, which uses the sheep's horn as the main design element, meaning auspicious, harmonious, warm, rather than carving the whole sheep. In addition, most of the sofas I designed are curved. Although the curved backrest is difficult to do, mahogany furniture must be functional and aesthetic, and this lesson can't be less.
Craft is used to enhance aesthetics instead of ugly. Many mahogany furniture guides tell consumers that mahogany furniture is not only made of materials, but also crafts, claiming that mahogany furniture is "three-point material, seven-point craft", how do you think?
Qiang Guanghao: Redwood furniture is not a "three-point material, seven-point process", but a "nine-point material, one-point process". Now the raw materials are worth a lot, 20 million tons of Hainan huanghuali, if you can When I got 10%, the workers were all rich and oily. The material of nine points is that the material value of the furniture must account for 90%. Otherwise, the material is very rubbish. What is the use? You use the coffin to make it, work better, can you sell the price of the sour branch?
I think that craft is used to enhance aesthetics rather than to cover up ugliness. In ancient times, "it is not expected to be carved." Therefore, in the market, only the "work" is not advertised, and the furniture of the "material" is not listed. Its "material" may have problems. It is carved everywhere, and it takes a lot of work. It is actually a workmanship to cover up the ugliness, instead of using work to reflect the beauty of wood.
Engraving and coloring are the two most important "shaping" techniques for mahogany furniture production. The carving is to destroy the wood grain. If it is carved, it will not be easy to find it. Once again, the color difference will not be seen. The ancient hand-carving is integrated with the aesthetics and feelings of the craftsman. It has a cultural charm. The current machine carving has little value, and the cost is only about 200 yuan per square meter.
So now many consumers are afraid to buy carved furniture, to buy plain noodles, because the wood has problems can be seen at a glance. When the customer comes in, we will teach him not to look at the furniture under the faint dim light, but to use a flashlight, because the red rosewood is rich in oil and reflects the amber-like light, and the white part is not reflective, so you can see it. There is no repair, there is no coloring, there is no white skin, so that this set of home has no value.
