Classic
Classic is a writing desk designed in a new Chinese style. The design adapts the raised end table form of traditional Chinese furniture, where the two raised ends reduce the chance of scrolls and other items falling from the surface. The desk is made of red oak, while cast iron forms the connections between the tabletop, the seat and the legs. A lower shelf adds storage space. The metal parts are shaped by computer controlled machining, and the curved sections are finished by hand. The desk top uses a traditional Chinese panel splicing method.
Classic New Chinese Style by Wei Jingye / 魏靖野 has been selected as a grand illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Classic New Chinese Style earned the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2020. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize that recognizes superior design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
