When you’re drawn into the world of Chinese furniture and decoration, there’s this small catch: it’s just impossible to overlook their elaborate details and rich cultural contexts. Oftentimes the design, patterns, colors, or even materials tell a lot of stories about that particular piece.

As summer looms, things become more colorful with all kinds of flowers blossoming around China. We at Yesterday Once Again can’t help but notice that around this time of the year, the more vivid tone and color trend is also reflected in the pieces that arrive in our warehouses.

The Chinese New Year, or more authentically the Spring Festival (春节Chūn Jié), is around the corner and it’s the Ox Year! For 2021, the New Year Day falls upon 12th February but the Chinese would celebrate a little earlier than that.

As the pandemic reemerges, people all over the world are spending more time at home than ever. Views on our surroundings and how we manage our domestic spaces also seem to be collectively reshaped, as home becomes our refuge from the crazy world outside more than ever.
