Stepping into the hotel lobby, the reception desk greets visitors like a hovering inkstone – its Zhanghe sandstone top layered over a walnut wood base evokes mist-clad mountain contours. Drawing inspiration from Chu-style bronze motifs, Harman Furniture adorns the metallic accents beneath the counter with abstract fretwork patterns. Where light and shadow interplay, millennia of Jing-Chu civilization harmonizes with modern minimalist aesthetics. To the right, the cloud-patterned modular sofa set in the lounge area juxtaposes industrial edge through charcoal fabric and metal framing, while its armrest carvings revive lacquerware techniques of the Warring States period. Every contour whispers the lingering resonance of ancient chime bells.

Upon entering the guestroom, the open wardrobe adopts a tripartite “conceal-hang-store” zoning system, optimizing spatial efficiency. The Zhanghe River landscape lacquer painting on the headboard wall transitions seamlessly into tonal bedding through gradient hues. The accompanying nightstand harbors a hidden innovation – a pull-out tea tray stocked with Jingmen green tea and bespoke tea ware. Blending the warmth of walnut wood, the industrial allure of bronze metalwork, and the cultural storytelling of Jing-Chu motifs, the room transcends modern hospitality functionality to become a microcosm of curated heritage.

The minibar combines linear and curvilinear geometries, with gently curved edges softening angular rigidity while echoing the fluid linear aesthetics of Jing-Chu lacquerware.

At Xi Hui Lou Chinese Restaurant, Harman Furniture reimagines the Ming Dynasty armchair into the Chu-style Grand Master Chair: its backrest features openwork chime bell patterns that spatially converse with wall reliefs, while bronze-finish metal legs contrast with modern breathable upholstery. The rotating Lazy Susan at the table’s center, lacquered using Jing-Chu lacquerware techniques, reveals subtle seal script characters from Qu Yuan’s epic Li Sao within its grain. Adjacent in Le Versailles All-Day Dining, leather chairs embossed with diamond patterns from Chu-era textiles pair with geometrically sculpted bronze-toned table legs, crafting a modern narrative that reverberates with Bronze Age sophistication.

Harman Furniture embeds each piece with the “Jingchu DNA“: The mortise-and-tenon joints of guestroom wardrobes inherit the architectural wisdom of the Chu Kingdom; Dining chair frames undergo 12-step manual polishing to achieve a mirror-like finish; The sideboard in the Chinese restaurant combines traditional joinery with hidden hardware, while its interior integrates a smart sensor lighting system; All wood is treated with 21-day natural air-drying followed by a triple kiln-drying process, ensuring stability across varying humidity and temperature conditions.

As dusk bathes the Zhanghe River, the city neon beyond the glass curtain walls intertwines with the Chu-inspired lighting indoors, weaving into poetry. Harman Furniture takes the 37th-floor heights as their canvas, crafting a modern chapter of Jingchu civilization through materials and craftsmanship. Here, every piece of furniture becomes a key to unlocking the culture of Jingmen, while every detail narrates the past and present of the “Gate of Jingchu.”
