九月的上海，两场展会相继落幕。时隔半年，朽木传奇再次来到上海，以「自然入境」为主题，携新作亮相摩登上海设计周与第三十一届中国国际家具展览会。

In September, two exhibitions came to a close in Shanghai. After six months, WOOD SLABS returned to the city under the theme “Nature Enters,” presenting its latest works at Design Shanghai and the 31st China International Furniture Fair.

从一块跨越43500余年的远古贝壳杉，到枝干、根系与飞鸟的形态；从天然大板，到桌腿、柜体、座椅与生活装置，我们试着让自然不再停留于被观看的材料，而是进入空间，也进入真实的生活。

From a 43,500-year-old ancient kauri to the forms of branches, roots, and birds in flight; from natural slabs to table legs, cabinets, seating, and living installations, we seek to let nature move beyond being a material to observe, allowing it to enter our spaces and become part of everyday life.

中国国际家具展览会

整个展馆以炭黑色为色彩基调，通过大面积、连续的弧形墙体构成立体而克制的空间框架。墙面并非简单围合，而是以不同尺度的开口、错落的体块形成层层递进的视线关系，让空间在封闭与开放之间保持适度的张力。

 The exhibition space is defined by a charcoal-black palette, with broad, continuous curved walls forming a sculptural and restrained spatial framework. Rather than simply enclosing the space, openings of varying scales and staggered volumes create layered sightlines, maintaining a subtle tension between enclosure and openness.

入口玄关处，浮游几与万象茶几以错落的姿态展开，二者不刻意张扬，却在材质、轮廓与光影的交叠中形成含蓄的视觉牵引，引导来者由入口缓步向内，开启对展馆深处的探索。

 At the entrance, the Fuyou Side Table and Vientiane Coffee Table are arranged in an understated composition, their varying forms and scales creating a quiet sense of rhythm. Neither calls for attention, yet the interplay of material, contour, and light creates a subtle visual pull, gently drawing visitors inward and inviting them to explore deeper into the exhibition space.

顺着动线步入其中，保留天然轮廓的原木大板如艺术装置般倚墙陈列，木材的纹理、色泽、自然裂隙与不规则边缘被灯光逐一照亮。低矮的桌案与木质艺术装置穿插其间，整个现场没有过度装饰，而是以建筑、光线与天然木作之间的关系，呈现出沉静、质朴且具有当代气息的空间氛围。

Moving along the circulation path, natural wood slabs with their original contours preserved are displayed against the walls like sculptural installations. Their grain, tones, natural cracks, and irregular edges are brought to light one by one. Low tables and wooden art pieces are interspersed throughout, while the space avoids excessive decoration. Instead, the interplay of architecture, light, and natural wood creates an atmosphere that feels quiet, grounded, and distinctly contemporary.

再往里走，本次新品藏合柜映入眼帘。柜门向两侧展开，茶器、器物与书籍被安静地收纳其中；闭合时，深色柜体恢复沉静而完整的姿态，与一侧立于墙面的天然大板彼此呼应，让木材的自然质感在空间中延续。藏与露、明与暗之间，一收一放，呈现出一处温和而有秩序的日常意境。

Further inside, the newly introduced Canghe Cabinet comes into view. As its doors open outward to both sides, tea ware, objects, and books are quietly revealed within. When closed, the dark-toned cabinet returns to a calm, composed form, echoing the natural wood slab standing against the wall beside it and allowing the material’s organic character to continue throughout the space.Between concealment and display, light and shadow, the cabinet moves naturally between openness and restraint, creating a warm and ordered sense of everyday living.

展翼屏立于深色背景之前，以舒展的形态划分空间，也成为视线停驻的中心。木面保留天然的色泽、裂隙与生长纹理，纵向线条如羽翼次第展开，在沉静的空间中形成轻微而有序的律动。

The Zhan Yi Screen stands against a dark backdrop, defining the space with its expansive form while naturally becoming the focal point of the viewer’s gaze. Its surface retains the wood’s natural tones, cracks, and growth patterns, while vertical lines unfold like wings, creating a subtle and ordered rhythm within the quiet setting.

紧邻其侧的根生桌以枝干般的桌腿结构向上承托圆润桌面，与展翼屏彼此呼应：一个向两侧延展，一个由下而上生长。屏风的围合感与桌椅的生活尺度相互平衡，共同构成一处安静、亲近且富有自然气息的会客场景。

Beside it, the Gen Sheng Table rises from a branch-like leg structure to support its softly rounded tabletop, echoing the Zhan Yi Screen through a shared language of growth. One extends outward in two directions, while the other grows upward from the ground. The screen’s sense of enclosure is balanced by the intimate scale of the table and chairs, together forming a quiet, welcoming setting for gathering and conversation, with a distinct sense of nature.

木拼贴画立于炭黑背景之前，不同色泽、纹理与轮廓的木片被重新组合，在方正画框中形成自由而有序的构图。不规则的拼贴边缘与丰富的木色彼此交叠，在深色空间的映衬下形成强烈的视觉冲击。

The wood collage stands against a charcoal-black backdrop, bringing together wood pieces in varied tones, grains, and contours to form a composition that is both free and ordered within a geometric frame. Irregular edges and layered wood tones intersect across the surface, creating a striking visual impact against the dark setting.

长度近4.4米的远古贝壳杉大板铺陈于展馆中央，成为此次中国国际家具展的镇馆之作。这枚历经四万余年自然沉埋的贝壳杉，以开阔尺度自然形成一处可围坐、可交流的生活场域。虫洞、裂隙与岁月痕迹被完整保留，并以点星工艺自然承接，细碎铜光嵌入纹理之间，如星点落入久远年轮。与之相配的势足桌腿，取意于书法运笔的收放之间，以不对称的结构回应大板舒展而厚重的尺度。

Nearly 4.4 meters long, this ancient Kauri slab takes center stage at the China International Furniture Fair. Naturally preserved for more than 40,000 years, it retains its wormholes, cracks, and traces of time, enhanced by delicate copper inlays that settle into the grain like stars among ancient rings. Paired with the asymmetrical Shizu Table Legs, inspired by the rhythm of calligraphic brushwork, the piece balances the slab’s substantial scale with a sense of movement.

展会期间，点星贝壳杉大板已被埃塞俄比亚藏家购藏，成为朽木传奇发往非洲的第一枚贝壳杉板王。跨越数万年的时间与数千公里的距离，这枚珍稀木材也将从中国走向非洲，成为中非文化交流的一份自然见证。

During the exhibition, the Star-Point Kauri slab was acquired by a collector from Ethiopia, becoming the first Kauri slab king from ZENSLAB to be shipped to Africa. Spanning tens of thousands of years and thousands of kilometers, this rare timber will travel from China to Africa, serving as a natural testament to cultural exchange between China and Africa.

摩登上海设计周

展馆外立面以炭黑色几何体块搭建空间骨架，斜向挑檐则在厚重体量中切出轻盈的转折，形成高低错落的建筑轮廓，同时引导视线由外部展陈逐步进入内部，既保留通透感，也形成富有层次的观看节奏。

The pavilion exterior is defined by charcoal-black geometric volumes, with a sloping roofline creating a lighter transition within the solid form. Varied heights shape a layered silhouette, guiding the eye naturally from the exterior display into the interior while maintaining a sense of openness and visual rhythm.

此次新品回弦桌腿，搭配白杨木冰晶大板置于玄关一隅，它不刻意强调存在感，却自然成为连接入与出的一个安静节点。

The new Huixian Table Legs are paired with a poplar slab finished with crystal inlay, quietly placed in a corner of the entryway. Without demanding attention, the piece naturally becomes a quiet point of transition between entering and leaving the space.

沿动线向内，一处带有屋檐意象的休闲茶席缓缓展开，长约3.3米的日本榉木冰晶大板与65厘米高的鸿渐桌腿相配，构成舒展而安定的空间中心；新品爪哇椅置于一旁，35厘米座高与桌体尺度彼此协调，形成松弛、适宜久坐的休闲高度。屋檐收拢空间，木作与茶席相互映衬，让展陈从观看自然过渡至真实的使用场景。

Further along the circulation path, a relaxed tea setting inspired by a traditional roof eave takes shape. A 3.3-meter Japanese Zelkova slab with Ice Crystal detailing pairs with 65 cm-high Hongjian Table Legs, while the new Java Chairs complete the setting with a comfortable 35 cm seat height.The eave gently frames the space, allowing the exhibition to transition naturally from viewing the material to experiencing it in everyday life.

茶席一侧，长约2.5米的白蜡木空间装置安静而立，天然轮廓被完整保留，细密而有节奏的手工锛纹在光影中显露出秩序感的肌理，也赋予作品介于雕塑与木作之间的形态感。另一侧，鸿渐柜静默而立，深色柜体与温润木色相互映衬，也为茶席收拢出安定的边界。

On one side of the tea setting, a 2.5-meter-long ash wood installation stands quietly, its natural contours fully preserved. Fine, rhythmic hand-hewn textures reveal a sense of order through the interplay of light and shadow, giving the piece a sculptural quality that lies between furniture and art. On the other side, the Hongjian Cabinet stands in quiet presence, its deep-toned body set against the warmth of the wood, gently defining a calm and composed boundary around the tea setting.

继续深入，藏合柜与根生桌静置于展馆内侧，不刻意争夺视觉中心，而是在疏朗有序的布局中各居其位。由玄关、茶席至内侧陈设，空间层层递进，也让观展者在行走与停留之间，逐渐感受到木材的时间质地与当代生活的从容尺度。

Further inside, the Canghe Cabinet and Gen Sheng Table rest quietly within the exhibition space, each occupying its place without competing for attention. From the entrance and tea setting to the inner displays, the space unfolds in layers, allowing visitors to gradually experience the texture of time in natural wood and the relaxed scale of contemporary living as they move and pause.

全球招商持续进行中

两场展会相继落幕，也让我们再次与来自不同领域的新朋友、老朋友相遇，从天然木材到家具与空间，从一块大板到完整的生活场景，这一次的呈现收获了来自设计、家居、商业及收藏领域的关注与认可。

With both exhibitions now concluded, we had the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones from across different fields. From natural timber to furniture and space, and from individual slabs to complete living scenes, this presentation received recognition from professionals across design, interiors, business, and collecting.

有人在天然大板前驻足，沿着木材自然生长的轮廓慢慢观看；有人伸手触摸裂隙、纹理与手工留下的肌理，在近距离的接触中感受木材真实的温度；也有人坐下来，从一枚大板、一件家具开始交谈，询问木种、年代、工艺，在一次次交流里，对朽木传奇以及天然木材背后的价值有了更具体的理解。

Some visitors paused before the natural wood slabs, slowly taking in the contours shaped by the tree’s growth. Others reached out to touch the cracks, grain, and hand-worked textures, experiencing the material’s warmth at close range. Some took a seat and began conversations around a slab or a piece of furniture, asking about its species, age, and craftsmanship. Through these exchanges, they gained a more tangible understanding of ZENSLAB and the value held within natural timber.

从被看见，到被触摸，再到真正进入使用的想象，展陈也因此不再只是关于材料的展示。人们在行走、停留与交谈之间，看见一块木材如何从自然中来，经过时间与工艺，最终进入当代空间，成为餐桌、茶席、座椅，成为日常生活中真实可感的一部分。

From being seen, to being touched, and finally imagined as part of everyday use, the exhibition became more than a presentation of materials. As visitors moved, paused, and engaged in conversation, they discovered how a piece of timber comes from nature, shaped by time and craftsmanship, before eventually entering contemporary spaces as a dining table, tea setting, or chair, becoming a tangible part of everyday life.

展会虽已落幕，但关于木材、空间与生活的探索仍在继续。未来，朽木传奇将继续以世界臻藏大板为起点，以成熟的工艺与当代设计回应木材本身的时间质地，让天然材质进入不同空间，在真实的日常生活中被看见、被使用、被感受。与此同时，朽木传奇全球招商持续进行中，我们期待与更多认同天然木材价值的伙伴同行，将这份来自自然与时间的温度，带到更多城市与空间，共同探索天然木材进入当代生活的更多可能。

The exhibition may have come to a close, but our exploration of wood, space, and everyday life continues. ZENSLAB will continue to take exceptional natural slabs as its starting point, combining refined craftsmanship with contemporary design to bring natural materials into more spaces and everyday life.Our global partnership program is ongoing. We look forward to working with more like-minded partners to bring the warmth of nature and time to more cities and spaces.
