ORCHID INSPIRES YOU

Furniture That Feeds the Soul

At Orchid, we favour characterful interiors with visual and emotional impact. Our Asian furniture transforms not just the look but the feel of your home, making it a place you never want to leave.

We believe that colour has the power to calm, uplift, inspire, bring joy, tell your story and change your life. Introducing colour to your space, whether with Chinese lacquer furniture or an oriental-inspired accessory, can transform your environment and emotions. We’ll show you colours you may not have considered but that could make the difference between a space and a sanctuary.

Emotions can be stirred by objects too. An antique Chinese cabinet can have a profound impression on your senses (and your house guests!). The furniture’s provenance gives it personality; it's craftsmanship ensures a lifetime of use. Our Chinese antiques have weathered many generations since their construction. When you introduce an antique to your interior, it begins a new chapter in your home and life.

YOUR FURNITURE'S JOURNEY

Transcending Time, Place and Trends

Orchid offers a tantalising mix of old and new pieces, from genuine Chinese antiques to authentic reproductions. You’ll undoubtedly find something that speaks to you, whether you dream of a Chinese wedding cabinet in your living room or a lacquered trunk that boosts your bedroom’s style and storage.

Our founder, Mimmi, sources traditional 19th and 20th century furniture from various provinces across China. These are then lovingly restored by artisans we’ve trusted since Orchid’s conception. The artisans use traditional techniques passed down through generations to breathe new life into time-worn pieces.

From refurbishing the structure to applying the last brushstroke of lacquer, every stage of the restoration process is handled with the utmost respect for the piece. Mimmi will often suggest a bold, unexpected colour palette, to keep the design evolving and introduce you to exciting style concepts.

As for our reproduction pieces, these are expertly handcrafted and hand-finished to our designs. Mimmi takes an ethical and hands-on approach, visiting our artisan factories and ensuring only reclaimed wood and sustainable materials are used.

ORCHID'S CLASSICS

Antique Rarities and Authentic Replicas

History is intrinsic to everything we do at Orchid. We cherish the intricate designs on the traditional Asian furniture we source; we’re fascinated by the items’ provenance. With the help of master craftsmen, we painstakingly preserve our Chinese antiques, so they may continue to impress new generations.

Whether a salvaged blue sideboard or an antique console table, each piece has meaning through its colour, form and decoration. Beneath the lovingly restored patina is a story that sparks in you an emotional connection.

Alongside our antiques, we also offer a collection of reproduction oriental furniture. We’re inspired by the sublime designs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, cleverly replicating them for western living. Our reproduction furniture comes in a spectrum of vivid colours and a range of practical sizes to suit your home and lifestyle.

ORCHID'S COLOURS

Stylish and Symbolic Shades

Colour is used symbolically in Chinese culture, with different colours having different meanings. Introduce colourful Chinese furniture to your home, and you invite unique style while influencing your life’s path.

Our most popular pieces include Chinese blue sideboards and green oriental cabinets. Blue represents positivity and is often used in the home alongside green for harmony. You’ll undoubtedly be drawn to the bolder hues too. Imagine a scarlet-red Chinese console table in your hall or an uplifting orange sideboard in your dining room. Red is an instantly recognisable Chinese colour, representing happiness and good luck. Orange symbolises gold and good fortune.

At Orchid, we hope our colour palette will inspire you to make adventurous choices. Colourful Chinese lacquer furniture could be the final flourish your home needs.
