The expression of life in Tibetan furniture is more than just a piece of wood. Some colors or little decorations are in the body of these "things". They also have the same personality and disposition.

One morning in July 2010, in the old carpenter's workshop in Dejixiu Town, Shannan, the Tudan master took out a box of his working tools from under the Tibetan box. The tools are very old, and many of them are axe that the Central Plains carpenter has not used. Zhu Xiaojie, a designer who also claims to be a carpenter, asked, “Do you mean general tools, or?” He and the “Let the World See National Craftsmanship” collection team are looking for Tibetan furniture, which is the last stop of their trip. The “World Seeing and Minority Cultural Protection and Development Project” was initiated by the musician Zhu Zheqin. A group of designers with international vision and aesthetics who also valued the pursuit of traditional beauty became the leader of every trip. Each invited designer will take the product plan and find the most authentic craftsman to “redesign” the craft. According to the plan, after the design is completed, the production of the product should be carried out locally to solve the livelihood problems of the surrounding villagers. Furniture designer Zhu Xiaojie is the search for Tibetan furniture.

From the beginning of Lhasa, among the many exquisite Tibetan traditional handicrafts, the most representative is the decorative and mysterious Tibetan furniture. The origin of the entire Tibetan furniture is generated by faith. Pure things, there is a special pure land in the heart. Compared with the changes brought about by the region and the times of Chinese furniture, Tibetan furniture is not affected by the stable religious culture. The style of Tibetan furniture is as beautiful, devout and mysterious as the land of Tibet.

Born out of the building

The expression of life in Tibetan furniture is more than just a piece of wood. Some colors or a little decoration, in these "things" body, also have the same personality and disposition. Tibetans who used nomadic life in their early years had no concept of furniture. They even regarded furniture that was inconvenient to be transported as trouble. Therefore, Tibetan furniture was mainly used for religious places in the early days. The form of folk furniture was monotonous and was only divided into Buddhist altars and Tibetan cabinets. There are four categories: Tibetan tables and Tibetan boxes. They like to sit on the ground and sleep on the floor, so there are no chairs and no beds at all. Because they believe that going to bed will anger and protect the gods, which is not good for the body: this way of life, the style of Tibetan furniture is basically born out of Tibetan architecture, and the authentic Tibetan furniture decoration and architecture are the same as Thangka. Use traditional mineral pigments to paint.

The worship of the Buddha is an important part of the daily life of the Tibetan people. There is almost the same furniture in Tibet, and the status is extremely high. That is the Buddha. Master Tudan has been a Buddhist monk for decades. Under his introduction, you will find that the construction of the entire Buddhist altar is a framework of architecture. As for the cabinet, its appearance sometimes looks like a small house, which is engraved with the same auspicious patterns as the building, the Tibetan Eight Treasures, the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.

Heavy color

The most exciting Tibetan furniture is from the Potala Palace and Norbulingka. The snow piles established since the Ming Dynasty have gathered handicrafts, and brought Tibetan handicrafts, especially painted murals, to the furniture manufacturing industry with their superb painting art, exquisite carving techniques and decorative techniques with rich ethnic characteristics. Craftsman. In Tibet, few masters know how to make furniture, but also can paint and engrave at the same time. Tibetans often prepare wood for a master to make a cabinet, and find another master to paint, forming the characteristics of Tibetan furniture. . The people living in this ancient and mysterious land have endless imagination and expressiveness in art, creating Tibetan paintings with unique artistic styles. In the home of Sona Zhuoma at the age of 80, a group of people saw the furniture popular among the Tibetan aristocrats in the 13th Dalai Lama. No complicated carvings were used on the doors of the cabinets. Each cabinet door painted a theme, Mei Lan. Bamboo chrysanthemum is very elegant. Painted is the essence of Tibetan furniture. Under the red, yellow, green and blue, it is the most customary customs and beliefs of Tibetans. It can also taste Tibetan culture with a strong religious atmosphere.

Buddhist monks, Tibetan cabinets, Tibetan boxes, and Tibetan tables often see various patterns, characters from myths and legends, religious stories, yak and macaques in totem culture, and ties with Tibetan Buddhist culture. The animal image of the relationship, such as lions, elephants, peacocks, garudas, etc. Of course, the dragon and phoenix patterns in the Han culture are also common. There are also words with religious spell colors in the Buddhist scriptures, as well as the unique Xianglin Falun of Tibetans, the seven political treasures of Tibetans, the ten-phase free map of Tibetan saying “Long Jiwangmu”, and the Buddhist family of “Zhaxi Dajie”. Auspicious eight treasures, etc.

Craft is not personal, but social. If you do not pass the path of common prosperity, the right beauty will not be guaranteed. After the search, Zhu Xiaojie designed three works: supply, cabinet, and entrance, let furniture become a carrier of religion, enter our daily life, and find the eternal nature in nature.

For the beauty of the traditional craft world, the beauty of its being re-visited will be a new starting point for protection and development. Tibetan furniture itself does not have many elements, except wood and color, but by giving it a gaze, it can be infinite.
