At Gingko Furniture (銀杏家具), our mission is simple yet enduring: to bring quality and comfort to modern families.
Rooted in Solid Walnut Furniture, we reinterpret timeless aesthetics through a contemporary lens—balancing style, proportion, and function—so that every piece becomes a natural extension of your personal taste.
Our design language draws from Mid-Century Modern, Mission Style, and Asian-inspired proportions. Through thoughtful “rescaling and refinement,” we create lighter, more urban, and more enduring silhouettes that let walnut’s natural grain speak for itself.
Why Choose Solid Walnut Furniture
🌿Durable × Repairable
Solid American Black Walnut offers structural stability and resistance to abrasion and impact. Everyday marks can be renewed with light sanding and an oil/wax touch-up—developing a richer sheen the longer you live with it.
🌿Sustainable × Low Impact
We use traceable, kiln-dried solid walnut. Often called the aristocrat of woods, walnut is a slow-growing, dense hardwood renowned for its strength and beauty.
“
We have chosen Walnut due to it’s stability in different environments which is important to avoid movement and cracking as humidity levels change.”
🌿Details × Craftsmanship
Traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery provides high strength while allowing wood to expand and contract naturally. Chamfered edges, refined end-grain treatments, and balanced proportions deliver a finish that is as pleasing to the touch as it is to the eye.
A Timeless Visual Character
From deep coffee to warm brown heartwood and straight or rippling grain, walnut creates an “ever-beautiful” calm within minimalist lines—harmonizing effortlessly with white walls, stone, stainless steel, and linen textiles.
Where to Begin: Let One Hero Piece Define the Room
Start with a single statement of Solid Walnut Furniture—a walnut dining table, a mid-century chair, or a bed frame. Let material and proportion set the tone, keep surrounding palettes quiet, and allow light and shadow to complete the layers.
If you love iconic vocabulary, choose a mid century style chair or mid century modern chair as the anchor for your living or dining space. For a full home refresh, build a cohesive language with mid century modern furniture for an elegant, enduring whole.
Buying Guide (What to Look For)
- All solid, not veneer: Check end-grain rings and pore structure to confirm true solid walnut (not veneer or finger-jointed cores).
- Structure and load paths: Look for secure joinery, stretchers, leg angles, and substantial thickness—prioritize mortise-and-tenon Solid Walnut Furniture.
- Finishing system: Prefer low-VOC, serviceable, open-pore finishes for easier long-term care.
- Scale and proportion: Choose dimensions that follow your traffic flow and use—don’t overfill the room.
- Warranty and maintenance: Ensure guidance for waxing/refinishing and access to replacement parts to extend the lifecycle.
Because each piece is handmade from natural materials, every item is original; minor variations in size and appearance—about half an inch—are normal and expected.
Long-Term Value: Choose Once, Use Longer
- Refinishable, heirloom-worthy: Solid wood can be resurfaced to extend its life; classic design plus good condition makes for a friendly second-market profile.
- Lower true cost: Long service life and straightforward maintenance reduce average cost over time.
- Smaller footprint: Buy less, discard less—let sustainability become part of everyday living.
Care SOP
- Daily: Dust with a dry cloth; if needed, lightly damp-wipe and dry immediately.
- Monthly: In dry seasons, apply a thin coat of oil or wax.
- Protection: Use coasters, placemats, and heat pads; avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
- Spot repair: For light scratches, sand gently with the grain using fine-grit paper, then apply a thin oil/wax coat.
