家宅是我們在塵世間的庇護所，書房則是心室，點滴的陳設中蘊藏著家中主人自我的心性。至於空間的布局，常位於宅院的僻靜之處，這是營造高雅、恬淡養心書齋的重要因素。如有後花園，與之相鄰，使人凝心聚氣，收斂思緒。讀書習字，工作休閑，冥想沈澱，處處可見主人的興趣愛好與對美好生活的追求。隨著消費意識的升級，對大多數物質生活得到滿足的人來說，書房陳設品的審美需求逐漸成為必然。

現代書房作為主人的心靈歸屬地，崇尚以人為本，從文化基因和傳統價值觀念中找回中國傳統文化，強調天人合壹的和諧和互補，通過生活實踐找到屬於自己的當代中國人的生活方式，尋求內心空間價值的增長。壹間屋子本是空空如也，陳設布局又何須設限，以形式為中心易被形式所困。卸下對樣式的捆綁，才能真正達到心靈上的愉悅和灑脫。繁而不亂；簡而不陋。亦中，亦西，亦古，亦今。通過對空間與物的調和，達到氣韻上的統壹，調性上的壹致，在當下顯得尤為重要。

Contemporary Scholar’s Studio · Living with Art

The home may be a sanctuary but its heart is the study, where every piece of furniture reflects the owner’s personality. A study is often located in a tranquil corner of the house and creates a cultured, calm and inspirational atmosphere. A study by the garden can help us remain focused and calm. It is where we can read, practice calligraphy, work, relax, meditate and reflect on ourselves. Every detail reflects the owner’s passions and their pursuit of a good life. As wealth grows, however, those who desire to be surrounded by beauty increasingly seek an ever more refined style in which to furnish their studies.

A space that represents the owner’s heart and soul, a modern study is designed around him. Embodying traditional Chinese values and culture, the study space emphasises the harmonious and complementary relationship between nature and humanity.The owner will day by day discover their very own contemporary Chinese lifestyle and how they wish to develop this. A room is initially an empty space, so we should not feel constrained with regard to its layout or furnishing. We will be inhibited if we focus only on formality. Truly to savour spiritual pleasure and freedom, we need to cease being formulaic. Complex but not chaotic, simple but not crude, the study can be both Eastern and Western, classic and modern. The important goal is to achieve a cohesive atmosphere and style by maintaining perfect balance between space and objects.
