What can be lacquered ?

Originally furniture pieces were mainly used for travelling and consisted of huge cases and trunks. Later on they were intended for modern conveniences including :

screens hiding some space or dividing a room
chairs (stools, armchairs, settees)
dining and coffee tables
beds and cupboards


Today we also design :

hifi-video furniture
bars
chests of drawers
dressers
bookshelves

The design and color of all these furniture pieces can be copied and created according to your tastes. For example, we can create furniture pieces matching lacquer and bamboo which fit perfectly well in modern interiors. Wooden furniture, such as your dining-room table, chairs and dressers, can all be lacquered.
