Polished Brass 33 Step Chair by Zhipeng Tan
By Zhipeng Tan
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Tan’s practice, since graduating from the China Academy of Art, has been focused on the ancient technique of lost-wax casting. This ancient foundry process has created an intersection between Tan’s interest in heritage casting techniques and organic forms.
The forms designed by Tan vary from being environmental (water drops, tree roots) to being figurative (spinal cords, pelvic structures). The Lily collection brings together the botanical and human motifs most explicitly. The tension between the two references cause the works to become abstracted and take on a slightly surreal quality, whilst maintaining functionality.
The 33 step chair...

Black Lacquer Screen with Cranes and Gold Leaf, Four-Panel Room Divider
Located in Yonkers, NY
A striking display of artistry, this Chinese lacquered folding screen showcases a mesmerizing composition of red-crowned cranes in flight against a golden backdrop. The four-panel construction features a dynamic arrangement of cranes, their detailed plumage accentuated by subtly raised lacquer outlines, lending a dimensional quality to the artwork. The luminous gold ground, possibly applied with gold leaf or gilded foil, creates a radiant contrast to the deep black lacquer frame. Delicate hand-painted floral motifs soften the edges, introducing a refined decorative element.
On the reverse, an equally elegant painted landscape unfolds, featuring songbirds perched among flowering branches and lotus blossoms. This dual-sided design enhances versatility, allowing the screen to function as both a decorative statement piece and a functional room divider.
Whether placed as a dramatic backdrop in a dining room, used as an ornate headboard...
