About LACQUER

Reviving the ancient art of Chinese lacquerware with soul, patience, and timeless beauty.

Our Story

LACQUER began with a simple yet powerful idea: to honor the legacy of traditional Chinese lacquerware while creating meaningful, modern pieces for everyday life.

Founded in Fuzhou — a city known for its rich lacquer heritage — we work closely with artisans whose skills have been passed down for generations. Every piece we create is a reflection of deep cultural roots and artistic spirit.

Our Craft

Each product is made using raw natural lacquer extracted from the lacquer tree, applied layer by layer, polished by hand, and allowed to rest. The process takes time — and that’s the beauty of it.

Whether it's a simple bead or an intricate gourd pendant, every piece tells a story of patience, nature, and human touch.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to preserve and promote traditional lacquer craftsmanship, making it accessible to the world. We envision a future where ancient wisdom lives on — not in museums, but in people’s lives.

By fusing tradition with contemporary aesthetics, we bring forward products that are both beautiful and meaningful.
