SHANG XIA Walnut Rocking Chair - Matte Finish

"Heaven and Earth" symbolizes the sky and the land. The furniture in the HEAVEN AND EARTH series features clean lines and gentle curves, exuding a calm and expansive presence that seems to embrace the cosmos. The "Grand Heaven and Earth" rocking chair within this series is meticulously crafted down to the finest structural and technical details, showcasing the exceptional artistry of wooden furniture.  

Through an innovative and unique interpretation of the craftsmanship behind the "Grand Heaven and Earth" series rocking chair, SHANG XIA hopes to convey that this meticulously carved and refined piece, shaped through rigorous effort, will remain a durable and enduring heirloom, standing the test of time and weathering all changes.  

The Ultimate Fusion of Square and Circle

Straight lines form squares, while elegant curves create circles. Together, they embody the core philosophy of the "Grand Heaven and Earth" series: integrating simpler lines into traditional Ming-style furniture to make it more suitable for modern living. From a craftsmanship perspective, straight-line square joints are the easiest to achieve, requiring only machine cutting and assembly. However, this would contradict the core philosophy of "Grand Heaven and Earth."  

The rocking chair’s overall frame and seat form an outer square and inner circle, with the wooden seat surround meticulously hand-polished into a smooth curve. The connecting details also employ fully curved joints, undoubtedly requiring extensive hand-finishing to achieve seamless and flawless integration.  

Human-Centric Curves

Creating a "Grand Heaven and Earth" series rocking chair meant for inheritance begins with ergonomic considerations. "Ergonomics" refers to the relationship between humans and objects, encompassing the intersection of anthropometrics, engineering, and aesthetics.  

The Investment of Materials and Time

Beyond comfort, the exquisitely crafted "Grand Heaven and Earth" rocking chair demands high-quality materials and ample time for SHANG XIA’s artisans to apply their skills, transforming a rocking chair into a work of art.
