荷塘清趣A summer pond, beside the table
A lotus painting brings soft green and pink into a European breakfast room. Its breadth answers the table, while a narrow frame leaves the painted surface clear.

For homes, restaurants, hotels and designers. Begin with a setting, a feeling and the scale of the space; we can then consider the subject and presentation.
Chinese art · A wider world
A Georgian sitting room, a walnut library, a contemporary dining space. Begin with the artwork’s colour and proportions, then let architecture and furniture answer quietly.

小憩书斋A smaller figure painting offers something to discover from a familiar seat. Warm timber and a quiet corner give its gently humorous detail room to be noticed.

安放一幅画
Viewing distance, format, clear wall and gentle light: a practical way to begin choosing a place for a painting. Open a chapter to look more closely.

Stand at the doorway, then sit in your favourite chair. A long horizontal painting can gather a seating area together, but its scale should feel comfortable from the places where you actually spend time. Notice the surrounding furniture and clear wall as carefully as the painting itself.
先站在门口,再坐到常坐的椅子上。横幅可以呼应起居区的舒展,但尺寸是否舒适,要从日常真正观看的位置来判断。画旁的家具与留白,也需要一起看。

A tall painting gives a narrower wall a quiet centre. A smaller work invites a closer encounter beside a desk or chair. Try a paper template at the proposed framed size, then check it while standing and sitting. Compare different works and formats before committing to a size.
竖幅能为窄墙建立安静的中心;小幅则适合书桌旁、椅边,走近细看。按拟定装裱尺寸剪一张纸样,试挂后分别站着、坐着观察。先比较不同作品与画幅,再决定最终尺寸。

Begin with one painting and one vessel. Repeat a colour gently, and leave space around each silhouette. A rounded vessel needs a sufficiently deep, stable surface; a tall neck needs clear space above it. Keep circulation open and fragile pieces away from a table’s edge.
可以先从一幅画、一件器物开始。轻轻呼应一种颜色,让各自的轮廓都有余地。丰腹器需要宽裕、稳固的台面,高颈器需要上方舒展的空间;同时留出通行的位置,让易碎器物远离台边。

Keep works on paper away from direct sunlight, radiators and sharp humidity changes. A framer can advise on conservation materials and ultraviolet-filtering glazing; these reduce risk without making light harmless. Send us the wall width, ceiling height, furniture dimensions and a room photograph to begin a considered proposal.
纸本作品宜避开直射日光、暖气与湿度骤变的位置。装裱时可询问保护性材料与防紫外线玻璃,它们能降低风险,却不能让光照完全无害。沟通时,提供墙宽、层高、家具尺寸和空间照片,就能更具体地讨论安放方式。

Ceramics in six settings · 器入其境
From a glass cabinet to a garden table, explore different ways of living with the collection. The setting begins with the outline, the painted surface and the people who will see it.

Different silhouettes share a glass cabinet. Clear gaps and staggered bases keep each painted surface readable.

The crab-decorated handled vessel is considered at seated viewing height. A sheltered garden is a temporary viewing concept; outdoor suitability needs confirmation.

Jars, vessels, cups and plates form a layered collection. Open shelves let each shape breathe while bringing the pieces into conversation.

The pomegranate-decorated vessel becomes a focal point on a deep side cabinet. The dining table and service route remain separate from its display.

A small flower painting and two different vessels share a living room. Their differing forms and sizes establish a rhythm, with clear space around each work.
Discuss this kind of settingA considered arrangement
Look from the doorway, your favourite chair and the dining table. Try a paper template before deciding a painting’s height.
Check the vessel’s widest point as well as its base. A deep shelf and a quiet background let the silhouette remain clear.
Soft light shows glaze and texture. Keep works on paper away from direct sun, radiators and rapid changes in humidity.
