New Antique Furniture?
Monday, 3 January 2005 22:10 pm
Don’t you like the old, antique Chinese chest of drawers, desks, beds etc?
The interesting thing here is that you can have ‘genuine antique’ Chinese furnitures custom-built in any shape, form or colour you might like… Hmm - are those really antiques? Well if you define antique as being nailed together in a Chinese workshop somewhere across the border in Guangdong province. So definitely not antique!
Still, they do a pretty good job in getting things to look old, and for us that’s all we need.
We’re currently waiting for a TV table which is custom designed to fit our Hi Fi equipment, including the centerspeaker of our set. The other thing we’re having made is a ‘partner desk’ which is a desk you can sit on from both sides. The partner desk has a hidden panel that can be removed on one side, and this will be hiding exactly all the power / network cabling that connects the PC / Server to the house’s own network.
I like the fact that you can design the whole piece yourself. The shops will send you their design, and then you approve it and they start manufacturing it in China.
Check out the mentioned designs below. Once we have them in house will post another picture to show you the real thing.
