Indonesian ebony: the true, good and beautiful of the realm of ebony
When traditional furniture art aligns with the modern economy, it can evolve more rapidly and effectively. However, during this process, there have also been deviations in value orientation. Some companies have become overconfident, often neglecting the true artistic values of humanistic and philosophical depth in their research, development, and production. As a result, people are increasingly seeking the "thinking, artistic, and ornamental" trinity, and the emergence of Indonesian ebony boutique has once again reminded us of the "truth," "goodness," and "beauty" inherent in traditional furniture art.
Indonesian ebony, also known as striped ebony in China, is native to the virgin forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It thrives in an environment with minimal rainfall, which allows it to grow for at least 500 years—or even thousands of years. According to the "Redwood National Standard," Indonesian ebony belongs to the persimmon family (ebony). Due to its exceptional hardness and fine grain, it features striking red and black patterns that exude a strong masculine energy, making it popular among people from all walks of life.
In ancient China, Indonesian ebony entered the private sector and imperial courts primarily through two channels: tribute from Southeast Asian countries or trade from Hainan Island. Internationally, European and Japanese testing institutions consider Sulawesi ebony to be the best. In Indonesia, it is treated as a national treasure and is strictly prohibited from being exported as logs.
With its deep roots and rich history, Indonesian ebony carries profound "truth," "goodness," and "beauty." Let’s explore these qualities in detail.
**Truth: The True Color of Masculinity**
There's a fascinating story about the masculinity of Indonesian ebony. A renowned international laboratory tested the body's gas field by using an infrared camera. When a person sat on a regular chair, the test results were within normal limits. But when they sat on a chair made from Indonesian ebony, the red areas showed significantly higher readings. This demonstrated that the "Oriental Shenmu" could enhance the body's energy field, which is truly astonishing.
According to Nanjing University's sample identification data, the dry density of Indonesian ebony wood is 1.24g/cm³. Its radial shrinkage rate is 6.2%, and chordal shrinkage is 7.8%. Compressive strength reaches 66.4MPa, flexural strength is 115.3MPa, and the strength diameter is 6.5MPa, while the chord surface is 7.3MPa. These figures show that some performance metrics of Indonesian ebony even surpass those of the "King of Wood," rosewood.
If the characteristics of the wood give it a dignified and majestic presence, then "the pet is not arrogant" better represents the true nature of Indonesian ebony. While huanghuali, red sandalwood, and red rosewood continue to see inflated prices, Indonesian ebony remains affordable, with a market positioning of "high-end but not high-priced," gaining more consumer favor.
**Good: Keeping Fit and Fighting Evil Spirits**
Sulawesi ebony possesses remarkable vitality. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, gathering spiritual energy from the earth and sky over thousands of years, forming a powerful energy field. It is widely used in ancient and modern times for maintaining health. The ebony forests in Indonesia emit natural molecules like bactericides and antibiotics, helping to inhibit and eliminate viruses and bacteria.
Additionally, Indonesian ebony has smooth textures, corrosion resistance, anti-insect properties, and does not fade over time, making it a sacred material. In Japan, it is commonly used in the construction of temples and shrines. Long-term use of ebony furniture can absorb cosmic energy from Sulawesi ebony, promoting human life energy, stimulating cells, and rejuvenating tired ones, achieving a harmonious balance between humans and nature.
The robust structure of Indonesian ebony trees, with their dragon-like branches and strong roots, creates a visually and spiritually refreshing experience. This is why it is known worldwide as the "Oriental God Wood."
**Beauty: The Beauty of Vividness**
Li Yuanrong, a leader in the domestic ebony furniture industry, believes that true beauty goes beyond formal aesthetics and must include deeper levels of "truth" and "goodness."
"Truth" means sincerity. All products must be made from 100% pure Indonesian Sulawesi ebony, without any additives, ensuring authenticity and quality. The Ebony House pioneered the use of matte lacquer technology, creating transparent finishes so thin that physical inspection is nearly impossible. The texture feels as soft as a baby’s skin, and under a magnifying glass, you can see the open pores of the wood.
"Goodness" reflects love and care, giving the work a functional beauty that transcends appearance. The Ebony House ensures harmony in materials, craftsmanship, shape, and style, following deductive mechanical principles. For example, the Xiangguo Xianghua group chair and Ming-style circle chair feature an "S-shaped" backrest, smoothly curved, perfectly matching the spine's natural curve. The slight backward tilt of the chair makes it extremely comfortable.
Every piece of furniture from the Ebony House embodies both external beauty and inner meaning. People say that the beauty of Ebony House furniture lies in its moral spirit. At the upcoming Shanghai International Furniture Fair, the “American Garden†bedroom collection will make its debut. This set combines Chinese and Western cultures, reflecting the texture and historical depth of different regions, evoking a sense of nostalgia. With elegant arches, classic Roman columns, flowing lines, and powerful tiger-shaped legs, it expresses a refined and luxurious style that resonates with modern tastes, satisfying the desire for natural simplicity.
