An other is ShangXia, a daughter of Hermes. They have a mission to keep traditional crafts alive by applying the old techniques and materials to contemporary design in silk, jade, wood and bamboo. The chairs are made from wood that is laid in waxwater for 6 months before production to prevent working afterward in changing humidity. No nails or glue are used but mortise and tenons used. 70% of all the work is polishing the surface till it feels silk like. The porcelain they make is of eggshell thickness
