Lacquer finishes highlight the form of furniture and whether they are traditional lacquers like urushi, or the modern version that our studio uses, they help to create pieces that feel calm and sophisticated and provide designers an opportunity to explore color and mood and shadow within furniture and interiors. Lacquer colors can transform rooms and create places of calm, or places of reflection, or bring vibrant energy to a space.

Lacquer Inspiration

Our studio’s first collection of pieces, the Modernist series, was introduced in 2001 and included a small collection of lacquered furniture and an initial offering of about 7 original lacquer colors. Over the years, we’ve expanded that collection to include a range of stunning designs in lacquer, accented with beautiful metals as well as our standard deck of beautiful lacquer colors to choose from. Beyond our standard colors, our custom matching capabilities means that the options to designer and homeowner are only limited by imagination and style.

FAQs

  • Yes, we can provide custom lacquer finishes to match your submitted sample.

  • The same care for wood finishes applies to lacquered furniture. Clean up spills immediately, avoid objects that could have standing water such as vases, dust gently with a microfiber cloth and with some lacquer finishes, avoid harsh light as the colors will be affected by sunlight over time.

  • Yes, the most popular lacquer sheens we offer are a satin polish, which is a hand rubbed satin finish that has a very slight “grain” to it and a full polished high gloss. Of course other sheens are available as well. We’re glad to provide samples upon request.

  • Our lacquer finishes are modern versions of traditional lacquers. As such, they are as durable as any high end furniture finish over wood and will last a lifetime with reasonable care.
