PRIVATE CULTURAL CLUB · CONCEPT 02

Chenghuai Salon

A sequence for arrival, equal conversation, formal meetings, collecting, tea and private dining—substantial without becoming ostentatious.

SPATIAL CONCEPT · NOT A COMPLETED PROJECT
PROJECT BRIEF

A meeting begins before anyone takes a seat.
begins before entering.

Furniture creates etiquette through distance and orientation. Reception seating remains equal, while boardroom and dining arrangements support clear hosting and service.

The route moves through welcome, seating, conversation, appreciation and dining. The entrance introduces the setting; the reception room avoids imposing seating hierarchies. Materials become warmer and objects more closely arranged toward the tea and collection areas, ending in a private dining room for unhurried gatherings.

01 / ARRIVAL & RECEPTION

A thoughtful welcome,
equal and courteous.

A flat-top altar table anchors the entrance, while shelving provides display and a gentle partition. Shelf counts, leg spacing and overall proportions follow the reference pieces; furniture is not enlarged merely for effect.

02 / FORMAL NEGOTIATION

NANXU / BEFORE ORDERING

From a favourite piece to a workable home

Use the display to explore form and placement. Match material records, finished dimensions and delivery scope to the actual piece or approved drawing before ordering.

Material and provenance
Ask which parts use the main and secondary materials. Request the current piece ID, daylight views and details; match any provenance or test records to that piece.
Dimensions and use
Published dimensions are references. Confirm finished outer dimensions, usable clearances and space for doors, chairs, drawers and circulation; arrange a site measurement for custom work.
Structure and finish
Discuss joints, panel assembly, repairs, finishes, hardware and care. Include agreed grain photographs and acceptable variation in the confirmation record.
Quotation and delivery
Confirm furniture, packing, transport, stairs and installation separately. Record timing, non-removable component sizes, acceptance checks and follow-up arrangements.

Consider the piece in a room

These are conceptual furnishing proposals, not completed client projects. Materials, dimensions and final results require separate confirmation.

Tea and reception: plan around use

Confirm the host position, guest numbers and tea equipment before selecting furniture. Include drainage, cables, cleaning and maintenance access in the plan.
