Ming Style Bamboo Console Table
The Ming Console Table embodies the refined balance and quiet elegance of classical Ming Dynasty design, while carrying the warmth of nature through its materiality.
Crafted from Qiong bamboo, a rare, high-altitude species from the Yunnan Plateau, the table features a handwoven bamboo-split surface and wooden panels, joined using traditional mortise-and-tenon techniques for a strong, nail-free structure. A hand-applied lacquer finish adds durability and a subtle, refined sheen.
Versatile in function, the console serves beautifully as a tea table, side table, or hallway accent—bringing intention, grace, and a touch of nature to any interior.
Details
1. Embrace UniquenessNatural Variations:
- Bamboo, pine, and reeds are organic materials, each with distinct grains, textures, and hues.
- These variations are not flaws but signatures of nature’s artistry, making your LUYI piece truly one-of-a-kind.
- Aging Gracefully: Over time, bamboo may develop a soft patina, while pine and reeds deepen in color, enhancing their character and story.
2. Avoid Extreme EnvironmentsHumidity:
- Bamboo thrives in balanced environments. Avoid placing your LUYI piece in overly humid spaces (e.g., saunas) to prevent warping or mold.
- Dryness: Similarly, keep it away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) or excessively dry climates, which may cause cracking.
- Ideal Conditions: Maintain a stable indoor humidity level (40-60%) and temperature (18-24°C) for longevity.
3. Gentle CleaningDust Regularly:
- Use a soft, dry cloth or microfiber duster to remove surface dust. For woven reed panels, a gentle brush can reach intricate patterns.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water. Wipe gently and immediately dry with a soft towel. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
4. Sunlight & PlacementIndirect Light:
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may fade bamboo and reeds. Position your LUYI piece in areas with filtered or indirect light.
- Rotation: For even aging, rotate or reposition your piece occasionally, especially if one side receives more light or airflow.
5. Seasonal CareHumid Seasons:
- Use a dehumidifier or silica gel packets nearby to absorb excess moisture.
- Dry Seasons: Lightly condition bamboo and pine with a natural wood polish (test on a small area first) to prevent drying.
6. Handling & Movement "Lift, Don’t Drag":
- When moving your LUYI piece, lift it carefully to avoid stress on joints or hinges.
- Folding Screens: For room dividers, fold panels gently and avoid forcing hinges.
