Why do elders love Chinese furniture?

The psychology of the elders, in addition to really knowing how to collect and appreciate, most of them feel that mahogany furniture can maintain its value (or simply say that it can appreciate), can be inherited, and even feel that the value of a set of sofa wood can reflect their financial resources. I think that more rational is to inherit, pass on to the younger generations, mahogany furniture culture has not stopped inheriting from ancient times to the present, it can be regarded as a feeling of Chinese for mahogany furniture. My parents were both wood carvers, and I was exposed to all kinds of wood and carvings from a young age.

And when I was two or three years old, my parents also spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a set of mahogany sofas and dining tables, and the tens of thousands at that time are equivalent to hundreds of thousands now. I asked them why they chose to spend so much money on mahogany furniture at that time, and my father said that he still liked mahogany, and the sofa making process and the style of the sofa, as well as the carving on it (at that time, it was more popular to make birds and other shapes with colorful shells on furniture, inlaid in a whole carving), and mahogany furniture could appreciate in value. To be honest, my parents are already a more rational consumer, in addition to the value of making furniture wood, they really like and understand the production process and carving process of this set of furniture.

Elders and younger people have different understandings of furniture. In the eyes of many elders, buying furniture is the same as buying a house, and it must be able to "maintain its value". Tens of thousands of dollars, can't be spent and gone, must be exchanged for something of equivalent value and stored at home, by the way, use this thing, of course, after a few years can appreciate higher.

And mahogany furniture is a commodity that appears in response to the psychology of the elders. As a former mahogany furniture industry practitioner, I can clearly tell you that the vast majority of mahogany furniture in the current market has no possibility of value preservation and appreciation, and I estimate this proportion to be more than 90%. Because if you want to sell the furniture you bought back home, you have to find a buyer with similar vision and financial resources to you, which is very difficult.

The disdain chain level gap of mahogany materials is very large, as long as there is a gap in vision and financial resources, people will not look down on you. Although I don't have any money now, I have seen a lot of high-quality mahogany furniture, and now the "treasures of the town" in those furniture malls are really unsightly, and I can find dozens of hard injuries at will. Those so-called treasures of the town hall, even if they are discounted by 5%, will still continue to be in the town hall.

Of course, there are indeed a few elders who really love Chinese classical furniture. There are many elders around me who have become interested in traditional culture when they are older. Older people lose interest in chasing new things in the outside world and have to seek pleasure in traditional things.

It's a pity that the mahogany has been fried for so many years, and the furniture worth playing with has become so expensive that it is against the sky. <>

When I first got married, I never looked at Chinese furniture. After the age of 35, I can feel the goodness of mahogany furniture more and more. I don't express myself well in detail.

After a few years of Western-style furniture, you will find that the appearance of goods, with the use of the will soon fall apart, even if the Italian and French expensive brands are just ordinary wood, patent leather stickers or carved stickers beautiful, the more you use it, the more you feel that the grade is low. Moving can be almost fatal to such a home. Mahogany furniture you see is a beautiful wood for a long time, almost no need to paint or natural plant paint, no nails, mortise and tenon structure, natural environmental protection and lasting noble, classic style is more and more durable.

The carvings of Western-style furniture are generally attached to them, while the large-scale carvings of Chinese-style furniture are generally used to cover up flawed logs. I just looked at a set of golden silk nanmu cabinets in the furniture city, and I was salivating. Who wouldn't love a beautiful carved cabinet with a woody fragrance without paint?

It's just that it's too high. But Italian furniture also costs hundreds of thousands, what is there? It's just a piece of broken wood and a skin.

Zhihu's user base is too young, and in another 10 years, you will find that the various shortcomings of fashionable and convenient Western-style furniture and the various attractions of Chinese tradition are now seen. <>

Cut out the complexity, remove the luxurious smooth lines and simple decorations, let the antique Chinese style and modern minimalist style skillfully blend, the connection between the two is simple and elegant, so that the practicality of life and decorative arts are deeply balanced. Get rid of those complicated decorations, the design of the Chinese wardrobe should adopt simple and tough straight lines, which not only reflects the life requirements of modern people pursuing a simple life, but also caters to the restrained and simple design style of Chinese furniture, making the "new Chinese style" more practical and modern.

Suitability and suitability can be divided into three categories, one is suitable for people, the second is simple and not complicated, and the third is natural and not polished. Whether people live comfortably in a certain space depends largely on the practicality and applicability of the interior decoration. Therefore, the concept of humanization should be added to the design, starting from the user experience.

The new Chinese wardrobe needs to meet the above three suitability, the most important of which is to suit people and local conditions. The Chinese style of yin and yang symmetry pays attention to regularity and symmetry, and uses the concept of yin and yang balance to reconcile the indoor ecology. The design points of the Chinese wardrobe here are:

Natural decorative materials are selected, and the layout is symmetrical and regular.

With classical Chinese culture as the background, traditional Chinese imagery is used to create a space full of Chinese romance. Mahogany, calligraphy, and ceramics are typical elements of Chinese decorative culture. We can make the most of these unique elements throughout our home improvements.

Chinese furniture is divided into Ming-style furniture and Qing-style furniture. Ming-style furniture mainly looks at lines and softness, while Qing-style furniture mainly looks at workmanship. The Ming and Qing dynasties attached great importance to symmetry, which was very collectible, healthy and symbolic.

Traditional Chinese furniture is very particular about materials, generally hardwood, such as wenge, Hainan yellow ornific, red sandalwood, African red sandalwood, thymus and so on. This kind of Chinese furniture has a high cost and is high.

The main material of Chinese furniture is solid wood, which has the characteristics of natural environmental protection and health. At the same time, the material of solid wood determines the long service life of solid wood furniture, which is in line with the consumption concept of the elders. Moreover, the unique cultural heritage and the calm characteristics of Chinese style are one of the favorite characteristics of the elders.

The Chinese style is generally combined with decorative objects with classical charm such as splashed ink paintings and ceramics. At the same time, in the selection of patterns and textures, auspicious patterns with traditional historical and cultural charm such as Chinese oil paper umbrellas, dragons, lions, pines, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms are generally selected. But the Chinese style is too sober and not suitable for the aesthetics of the younger generation.

Therefore, the style of integrating modern elements into the classical Chinese style is more popular with everyone. If the subject is decorating and has disagreements with the elders, you can consider the new Chinese style. Rather than compromise with one side, accept differences.

I think it's probably because the elders have a strong sense of cultural identity and belonging, so they love Chinese furniture.

Because the Chinese style looks very atmospheric, it is also very in line with the age of the elders, and the Chinese style is also a style that has been handed down from ancient times to the present.

Chinese furniture is very calm and atmospheric, and it looks particularly festive, so the elders especially like it.

The new Chinese style itself is a style tailor-made for young people. It is a fusion of traditional Chinese style (or "classical Chinese style") and modern style, which can be regarded as a product after traditional Chinese style has made concessions in order to cater to the aesthetics of young people. The beauty of the new Chinese style is a kind of mellow historical heritage, which gives people a kind of simple and dignified atmosphere of high-end charm, converged on the inner beauty, without losing a unique charm of quality and taste.

Pure Chinese-style mahogany furniture, young people are indeed a little difficult to accept, the new Chinese style may as well be used as a point to connect the previous and the next, so that the Chinese charm and soft sitting feeling both.

<> new Chinese furniture not only inherits the essence of classical furniture, but also improves some of the defects of traditional Chinese style, combined with the taste of modern aesthetics, the production process is also handmade mortise and tenon structure exquisite, elegant taste, elegant appearance, for young people in the purchase of furniture considerations, in the past few years the vast majority of people will choose modern minimalist style. However, the consumption concept of young people has also changed, and the choice of furniture is no longer blindly pursuing fashion and trend, taste and value orientation. Like simple, solid color, practical, direct and other fashionable and simple design features, its clothing, food, housing and transportation are all so.

It just so happens that our new Chinese furniture, its craftsmanship, structure, lines, materials, colors, upholstery, etc., can be perfectly matched with today's young people.

At the same time, it is inherited and developed on the basis of traditional Chinese culture, has a very clear national gene, and is easily accepted by the majority of people. The design is generally very functional. So, young people should be able to accept and love it.

Qing-style furniture is relatively bulky, and it is not simple, and there are many carvings. Ming-style furniture lines are smooth, concise, the new Chinese style personally thinks that it is the Ming style improvement, I personally customized the new Chinese furniture, the effect is very good. If you have been influenced by traditional culture since childhood, and your family members are also loyal fans of traditional culture, and you are immersed in these traditional cultures all day long, these things of traditional culture have already taken root in your heart, and of course, Chinese furniture will not be excluded.

Mainly because of the living habits of young people now, it is really not suitable for this kind of furniture, everyone prefers high comfort and can lie down.

Because the new Chinese furniture has a very old-fashioned feeling, such furniture is more suitable for middle-aged people, and it is not quite in line with the style of young people.

Because the new Chinese style is more old-fashioned. This aesthetic is more suitable for middle-aged people, and young people like to be minimalist.

There are many places that are not suitable for them, for example, they will break quickly, and at the same time, formaldehyde is also a lot, which is particularly uncomfortable to use.

Modern people pay more and more attention to furniture soft decoration, not only because the changes of the times have triggered people's aesthetic changes in different furniture styles, so as to produce the style home has its own unique charm.

Among them, the new Chinese furniture style is very popular with the public, and the atmosphere, stability, elegance and fashion feel make the new Chinese style stand out in the furniture style.

New Chinese furniture is evolved from Chinese furniture, so what Ajia Mimi wants to talk about today is the difference between new Chinese furniture and Chinese furniture.

The difference between new Chinese furniture and Chinese furniture is different: the definition is different.

Chinese furniture: adhering to the Chinese style of Chinese classical architectural interior decoration design style represented by palace architecture, in terms of design, following the historical and cultural connotation of China for thousands of years.

New Chinese furniture: It integrates the characteristics of classical and dignified Chinese furniture and modern fashion texture, and skillfully combines the essence of Chinese culture with modern materials and design concepts.

New Chinese furniture is very different from Chinese classical furniture in terms of shape, material, and design style. The new Chinese furniture not only got rid of the prototype of the traditional furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also created a rich traditional artistic context, met the aesthetic needs of modern people, integrated the aesthetic complex of oriental culture into modern life, and fully reflected the charm of traditional Chinese culture and the simple and warm cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation.

It is easy for many people to confuse Chinese style and new Chinese style, and although both are Chinese, they are very different in terms of décor and furniture. The appearance of Chinese furniture focuses on antique and symmetrical shapes. The material of the furniture is mainly solid wood, and the patterns on the furniture are mainly dragons, phoenixes, turtles, lions, etc., which are carefully carved, gorgeous and chic, giving people an antique, warm and elegant feeling.

The new Chinese style is a fusion of Chinese style and modern style, and the new Chinese furniture modeling lines are more concise and generous. The color is soft and neutral, giving people a sense of elegance and warmth, natural and far from vulgarity. Wallpaper, tiles and other decorative materials are used in the decoration materials, and the traditional charm and modern comfort are perfectly blended.

With the development of the times, our aesthetics are gradually changing. Once upon a time, home decoration tended to be traditional, and the Chinese style was a very traditional style of décor.

Now there is a new style of decoration, not only traditional style, but also modern fashion, which is loved by everyone. At the same time, the two styles of furniture are also different, and the new Chinese furniture is different from the traditional Chinese furniture in terms of style design and selection. The new Chinese furniture is not as old-fashioned as the traditional Chinese furniture in terms of rules, complexity and old-fashionedness, but is replaced by a mixture of simple style and fashion, which is more suitable for the life needs and life needs of modern people.

The difference between the new Chinese furniture and the classical traditional Chinese furniture is still relatively large, in terms of appearance, the new Chinese furniture is more trendy, the style and pattern are more, and the traditional furniture is more low-key.

The new Chinese furniture design style combines modern popular elements, which is more fashionable and elegant. Classical traditional Chinese furniture is simple and simple, elegant in style, and rich in cultural connotation.

The new Chinese furniture is generally made of man-made panels, which are assembled, while the classical traditional Chinese furniture is generally made of solid wood, or solid wood finger jointed boards.

Classical furniture is more cumbersome, it involves a lot of well-framed and that second-time, and marble is also very difficult to deal with, now, well, the furniture is very simple, nothing particularly deep, well, with me very well, the kind of classical style that holds the side of the Ai effect is very good.
