Oriental Treasures: A Fusion of Eastern Wisdom and Italian Craftsmanship

A Collection of Elegant Furniture Pieces by Chen Xuan

Oriental Treasures is a series of elegant luxury furniture pieces, fusing oriental design and functions with fine Italian craftsmanship. Designed by Chen Xuan, a leading Chinese interior designer and architect, the collection spans four objects: Royal Medicinal Cabinet, Emperor's Clothes Rack, Auspicious Dresser, and Mountain Altar. No matter as standalone objects or in combination, Oriental Treasures will add a touch of Eastern wisdom and beauty to their surroundings.

Royal Medicinal Cabinet re-imagines the classic apothecary cabinet, with its drawers framed by a 24k gold finish top-board and rounded stand. This exquisite piece showcases the perfect fusion of traditional Chinese design elements and Italian craftsmanship. The solid 24k gold finish knobs add value to its elegant appearance, while the drawer details, including a two-color finish, separate the outside and inside, creating a visually captivating piece.

Emperor's Clothes Rack is not only a functional storage solution but also a beautiful furnishing object. The two 24k gold finish hanging rods are of different heights, providing ample space for clothes hangers. The bottom drawers serve to store daily wear or accessories, making it a versatile piece that combines convenience and elegance.

Auspicious Dresser is intended to function as a storage piece in a large wardrobe or be placed in the bedroom. Its design exudes sophistication and charm, with intricate details that pay homage to traditional Chinese furniture. The Auspicious Dresser adds a touch of elegance to any space, while providing ample storage for clothing and personal items.

The modern Mountain Altar is a semi-clear bent glass console, featuring intricate ancient wood inlays. This unique piece combines the transparency and sleekness of glass with the warmth and richness of wood, creating a harmonious blend of modern and traditional elements. The Mountain Altar works well as a sideboard and can stand alone as a room's centerpiece, against a wall, or blend in seamlessly with the home decor.

Chen Xuan's Oriental Treasures collection showcases his ability to seamlessly blend Eastern and Western design influences. Each object is a modern reinterpretation of classical Chinese furniture pieces, resulting in a collection that is both timeless and contemporary.

With Oriental Treasures, Chen Xuan has created a collection that not only showcases his design prowess but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage of both China and Italy. The collection is a testament to the power of design to bridge cultures and create objects of beauty and functionality.

Experience the elegance and sophistication of Oriental Treasures in your own space and let the fusion of Eastern wisdom and Italian craftsmanship elevate your lifestyle.
