What does the Shanghai style furniture that inherits minimalism look like?

As we all know, Shanghai-style furniture is the fusion of traditional Chinese furniture and Western classical furniture, which can be said to be the product of the fusion and collision of two cultures. Next, pchouse will take you to understand.

1. Localization of Western-style furniture.

At the end of the 19th century, Shanghai Western furniture was influenced by the Chinese furniture style, forming the earliest Shanghai-style furniture style that combines Chinese and Western styles, and Western-style furniture began to be produced in Shanghai, and began to use Chinese Nanmu and other woods. The introduction of foreign furniture manufacturing technology and the application of new materials, such as plywood, chemical coatings, chemical rubber and thin wood, have made fundamental changes in the structure and process technology of furniture manufacturing, and promoted the development of the furniture industry.

2. Westernization of Chinese furniture.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Shanghai mahogany furniture gradually tended to Westernize from Chinese furniture, and its representative furniture was the modern room. Founded in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Wanlidan Fiber Loose Wood is a time-honored Chinese furniture store. In order to meet the needs of the market, it is based on the design of foreign magazines, the creation of mahogany modern room furniture, its products are exquisitely selected, the process is fine, the grinder and lacquer are meticulous, bright as a mirror, and the traditional mahogany furniture is carved and difficult to clean.

Shops and mahogany workshops are following each other's example, constantly improving, improving, and improving, and the style is changing with each passing day. The modern room is the beginning of the Europeanization of Chinese furniture, and it is also the turning point of Shanghai furniture's integration of Chinese and Western styles.

3. Wrapping method.

Affected by the war, there are no raw materials available, the furniture store will buy in the old mahogany furniture dismantling and restructuring, such as the old mahogany dismantling, the feet and the table and other thick materials into thin sheets, and then these mahogany flakes with yellow fish glue and butyling glue glue glued on the white wood, made into mahogany furniture**. Although the quality of mahogany furniture in this period is not high, a new method of making mahogany furniture packaging materials has started on the basis of limited materials.

Many people commonly call Haitan stupid travel furniture as Shanghai's old furniture, because Shanghai-style furniture was produced in modern Shanghai, is the product of the Westernization of Chinese furniture and the localization of Western-style furniture, so what are the characteristics of Shanghai-style furniture? Next, let's take a look.

1. Integration of Chinese and Western.

Shanghai-style furniture does not belong to traditional Chinese furniture, nor is it an authentic Western classical furniture, but a type of furniture that is innovatively created by the fusion of the two. Shanghai furniture as a whole still maintains the traditional shape of Chinese furniture, and on this basis, Western decorative elements are added, the style is a combination of Chinese and Western, and the shape is more beautiful. Improvements have also been made in terms of functionality, making the furniture more functional.

2. Pay attention to practicality.

Shanghai-style furniture strengthens the functionality of furniture use, promotes the development of bedroom furniture, and makes many unprecedented new varieties emerge, such as large wardrobes, chest of drawers, bedside tables, ** beds, etc. A variety of very practical new furniture has also appeared, such as swivel chairs, writing desks, large dining tables, glass cases, etc.

In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, most of the classic Shanghai-style furniture flowed from the overthrown class families into the people, and was distributed to ordinary citizens, and the production of Shanghai-style furniture also stopped. At the beginning of the 21st century, due to the large-scale relocation of Shanghai, Shanghai old furniture was discovered by modern collectors, and the main Shanghai furniture excavators in Shanghai were Yang Fu, Zhou Liming, Lin Mingyang, Li Zhen, etc., who made these old Shanghai furniture that had gone through the vicissitudes of history, war, revolution, Cultural Revolution and other catastrophes to regain their charming charm. There are also many collectors who prefer old furniture in Shanghai, such as Jackie Chan, Jay Chou, Luo Dayou, Zhang Xinzhe, etc., and artists are also very fond of Shanghai-style furniture, such as oil painters Chen Yifei, Ding Yi, Deng Zaidong, Chen Mantian, etc., and photographer Er Dongqiang have collected a large number of Shanghai-style furniture.

There are also many designers who draw inspiration from Shanghai-style furniture, and many foreigners are also enthusiastically sought after. Shanghai-style furniture has become a new hot spot for collections.

The main feature of Shanghai-style furniture is that it pays attention to the practicality of furniture, strengthens the functionality of furniture, promotes the development of bedroom furniture, and emerges unprecedented new varieties, such as large wardrobes, chest of drawers, bedside tables, ** beds, etc.

In addition to bedroom furniture, new utilitarian furniture with various functions has also emerged, such as swivel chairs and writing desks; Large dining table, glass case, etc. Shanghai furniture in the surface decoration also has its own personality, it is more elegant, simple and beautiful, unlike the Cantonese furniture blindly pursuing carving, but to block structure, with local decoration; There is an aura. It is not as program-oriented as Soviet-style furniture, and it is more flexible.

Shanghai style furniture, commonly known as Shanghai old furniture. It refers to the Western-style and Chinese-Western style furniture that appeared and produced in Shanghai from 1843 to 1949, including the Western furniture that came to Shanghai, the modern furniture produced in Shanghai in the 20s and 30s, and the Shanghai Atic-style furniture in the 30s and 40s, excluding the old Chinese furniture made by Su.
