Welcome to Mao & Me. The new Mao & Me web site
launched in October with a full online gallery of all our latest
pieces. Many of the items we obtain are unique, but by keeping
in touch with us via our website, our customers will have
instant access to items which, for obvious reasons, cannot
be included in our printed catalogue.
In the meantime, you can read about the style and history
of items we carry, and about caring for the wood used by clicking
on the navigation buttons above. You can also contact us and/or
place an enquiry about a specific piece or range.
Mao & Me is a British Company set up by two people who
have a passion for China and Chinese culture.
China's history goes back thousands of years and throughout
the dynasties art has been expressed in many different forms
such as literature, music, calligraphy, painting, architecture
and craftwork all which live on today. Some people in the
west associate China with ornate heavy carving, complex patterns,
searing reds and bright gold but there is another side which
began hundreds of years ago in the Ming dynasty. Balance,
harmony and order, three words which aptly describe the furniture
and interiors from that era. Ming furniture features simple,
smooth and flowing lines, with plain but elegant decoration
showing the inherent beauty of the furniture's basic structure.
The philosophy of the Company is simple. To bring elegant
and beautiful Chinese interiors to Britain. We select designs,
fabrics and materials which mesh well with more modern living
and have a range of products which we think are a fusion of
East and West.
Mao & Me brings beauty and functionalism from China.
Welcome to the world of Mao & Me ...Elegant simplicity
