Tranquil Screens · Miniature Oriental Folding Art Series

In the quiet rhythm of daily life, space is more than a setting — it is a reflection of one’s inner state.

The Tranquil Screens Series transforms the traditional Chinese pingfeng (屏風) into a modern tabletop art form, capturing the essence of stillness, balance, and poetic living.

Each miniature screen is crafted from solid wood, hand-polished to preserve the warmth of natural grain, and paired with delicately painted ink or rice paper scenes.

Three motifs unfold across the collection:

Song of the Mountains — evoking a deep connection with nature and the timeless beauty of mountains and rivers.

Cranes Among Pines  — symbolizing longevity and serene strength.

Bamboo of Serenity  — representing peace, integrity, and quiet resilience.

In traditional Chinese aesthetics, a screen is not merely a partition — it is a frame for atmosphere, a window for the mind.

These miniature interpretations bring that philosophy to a smaller, more intimate scale.

Placed upon a tea table, bookshelf, or office desk, each piece creates a “境” (jing, or cultivated scene): a tranquil space for contemplation, a pause within modern life’s flow.

The Tranquil Screens are not designed to divide space but to shape it — turning any corner into an oasis of calm.

Through the soft tones of ink, the flowing lines of nature, and the tactile warmth of wood, they embody the dialogue between tradition and the modern home.

Whether as a gift of cultural grace or a personal token of stillness, each screen whispers the same message — ‘In simplicity, there is beauty; in stillness, there is life.’
