Big Pagoda

After 13 years of operating two brick-and-mortar store locations, Big Pagoda is now an online-only destination. The designs strive to stay true to the essence of traditional Chinese furniture: "the sense of proportion, the integrity of the materials, and the joy expressed in the artisan's work." It riffs modern on a traditional Asian vernacular by simplifying and streamlining its classic forms and adornments.
