Chinoiserie

Everything old is new again! With maximalist, Granny-chic and Grandmillenial design styles trending, Chinoiserie furnishing and decor are once again in the spotlight. Originating in the 17th and 18th centuries, Europeans became fascinated with Asian cultures and traditions. They loved to imitate or evoke Asian motifs in Western art, architecture, landscaping, furniture, and fashion. Always a customer favorite, today, we celebrate Chinoiserie style with lacquered casegoods, Japanese and Chinese screens, Asian ginger jars, and faux bamboo details on tables and chairs. Combined with more modern elements like bright and unexpected color, contemporary furniture, and lighting reinvents traditional Chinoiserie into a modern and fresh aesthetic.
