Engineering Logic
Complex surface inlays often succumb to differential veneer movement and delamination after extended environmental cycling in variable humidity.
The system addresses Hygroscopic Swell at the Veneer Interface by integrating an OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate.
“Concerns at this scale are not aesthetic preferences — they are architectural instincts.”
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
Developed as a controlled study of structure and material behaviour, the Neoclassical Walnut Marquetry Dining System maintains strict proportional discipline. The ornate pedestal base offers significant visual weight, anchoring the spatial flow of grand dining halls. It is ideally calibrated for integration into Neoclassical or Baroque architectural specifications.
Project-Specific Interpretation
In a recent commission for a private Coastal Villa, this design was adapted to withstand fluctuating saline humidity. Standard marquetry would risk detachment under such conditions. However, the internal integration of the OE-Core™ substrate and hydrophobic pore-filling sealants ensured the floral inlay remained perfectly planar, absorbing atmospheric variances without requiring invasive climate control.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The visible Walnut and Floral Marquetry are not merely decorative but selected for their specific grain density. To prevent surface cracking, the material is bonded to a core specifically engineered for commercial stability.
- Joinery: Mortise and Tenon reinforced with mechanical fasteners for heavy pedestal stability.
- Finishing: Hand-applied Gold Leaf (Gilding) sealed against oxidation.
- Load Management: Engineered to withstand static loads exceeding 150kg per linear metre.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM/ODM)
OE-FASHION operates as a technical partner for architects, providing project-specific furniture systems rather than fixed retail products.
We function as a bespoke furniture manufacturer and OEM/ODM partner, supporting architectural and interior design projects with full CAD coordination for complex inlay patterns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the marquetry perform in high-humidity environments?
A: The internal substrate is cross-laminated to standard, isolating the decorative veneer from hygroscopic movement and preventing delamination.
Q: Can the table dimensions be modified?
A: Yes. All frames are built to order, allowing for precise calibration to architectural dining room plans.
Q: Logistics and Crating for such delicate items?
A: Encased in museum-grade plywood crating with high-density foam impact protection specifically for the carved gold-leaf details.
