Engineering Logic
This system is engineered as architectural specification furniture.
It addresses Hygroscopic Swell typically observed in Coastal Villa environments
by integrating the OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate into the sub-structure.
Neoclassical Marquetry – Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour,
the Neoclassical Marquetry Oval Dining Table maintains architectural discipline
while integrating seamlessly into
bespoke specification frameworks.
The expansive oval surface features complex floral inlays and silver-leaf (parcel-gilt) acanthus detailing on the apron. This decorative density requires an inert foundation to prevent the “telegraphing” of substrate movement through the high-gloss finish layer.
Project-Specific Interpretation
In a recent commission for a Private Coastal Villa, specified as
OEM / ODM furniture manufacturing output, the system was adapted to withstand
the specific challenge of Hygroscopic Swell caused by fluctuating saline humidity.
The integration of the OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate ensured the complex veneer patterns remained planar and optically perfect,
eliminating the risk of delamination common in standard solid wood substrates.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The selected Marquetry Veneer System is bonded to a core engineered
specifically for commercial stability. This methodology is critical for preventing
failure modes explained in our analysis of hygroscopic swell in marquetry.
- Joinery: Reinforced pedestal-to-apron mechanical connections.
- Finish: Multi-stage lacquer application with humidity-resistant barrier.
- Load Behaviour: Calibrated for heavy dining service without planar deflection.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No. This system is engineered per project and does not exist as a fixed retail SKU. It is strictly made-to-order for architectural specifications.
Q: Is this suitable for Coastal Villas?
A: Yes. The OE-Core™ system is specifically calibrated to neutralise Hygroscopic Swell, making it ideal for humid or marine environments.
Q: Can the inlay pattern be customised?
A: Yes. The marquetry layout can be redesigned to match specific floor motifs or family crests.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Production timelines are calibrated per project complexity and typically confirmed upon drawing approval.
This documentation reflects OE-FASHION’s internal standards for
