A Lifetime of Learning<\/h2>\n

Living in Beijing in the 1990s, Betsy Nathan apprenticed under Chinese furniture experts and began acquiring antiques. In 1997, she returned to the United States <\/span>to establish PAGODA RED, a destination for handmade, one-of-a-kind works. Informed by decades of looking, learning and building relationships with artisans around the world, she launched the PAGODA RED COLLECTION<\/a> in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wabi Sabi Woods<\/h2>\n

Wabi\u00a0<\/strong>speaks to the quirks and flaws that bring a unique spirit to an object, while\u00a0Sabi<\/strong>\u00a0is the graceful beauty that comes with age.\u00a0Crafted from wood collected over many years, the Provincial Collection<\/a> brings together reclaimed Chinese elm wood, dovetail joinery and minimal forms.\u00a0Transcending centuries and cultures, each piece communicates the beauty of craft. Through the texture of time, it’s clear how perfect the imperfect can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imperfectly Perfect<\/h2>\n

Clean lines highlight every knot, split, cavity, and color variation in these expressive wood planks. Each piece is a celebration of wabi sabi style. This Reclaimed Elm Courtyard Stool<\/a> hearkens back to ancient stools that would have been moved around a provincial courtyard home for impromptu meals or gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n

From 18th to 21st Century<\/h2>\n

An example of how this collection connects old and new, the\u00a0Provincial Reclaimed Elm Bench<\/a> honors wood salvaged from 18th-century Chinese buildings. Our craftspeople use clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery to highlight the wood’s expressive grain and raw texture.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Reclaimed

Provincial Past & Present<\/h2>\n

Much like the tables that provincial Chinese families would have used for their home altars, this\u00a0Reclaimed Elm Courtyard Console Table<\/a> is simple and portable. Rich history deepens the rustic aesthetic by bringing new life to aged wood. Likewise, the simplicity of the style feels equally at home in modern, coastal, contemporary, and farmhouse interiors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Worn Wood Tables<\/h2>\n

In a generous 78-inch-long length, this simple Reclaimed Elm Waterfall Table<\/a> exemplifies the quiet dignity that natural materials can accumulate over time. Said to be a superior hardwood, elm is resistant to splitting and develops a rich patina as it ages. In China, elm wood symbolizes inner strength and intuition.<\/span><\/p>\n
