Discover the delicate brilliance of 螺钿象棋 — Chinese chess (象棋) pieces inlaid with intricate mother-of-pearl (螺钿), a centuries-old decorative technique celebrated across East Asia. This visually stunning video showcases master artisans carefully crafting each piece, layering shimmering shell fragments into richly lacquered surfaces.
For New Zealand viewers, this is more than cultural appreciation — it’s an invitation to explore how traditional Eastern craftsmanship can inspire modern Kiwi design and storytelling. As interest in Asian-Pacific artisan goods grows among Aotearoa’s interior designers, collectors, and cultural educators, these handmade chess sets speak to a deeper desire for connection, elegance, and craftsmanship.
Mother-of-pearl work resonates deeply with New Zealand’s own Pāua shell traditions, forming a bridge between Chinese decorative arts and Māori design sensibilities. Whether you're a lover of fine objects, a maker working with natural materials, or an educator exploring cross-cultural art forms, this is a rare look into how old-world craftsmanship continues to thrive — and inspire — today.
Why it matters in New Zealand:
Aligns with growing Kiwi interest in slow-made, natural-material goods
Inspires local artisans working with shell, lacquer, or game design
Appeals to collectors, designers, and educators passionate about cross-cultural heritage
Connects with Aotearoa’s deep appreciation for objects with story, skill, and soul

The horse bench (马儿板凳) — a small, handcrafted wooden bench shaped like a miniature horse — is a charming staple of traditional Chinese furniture. Once common in rural households across China, these benches were used by children, elders, or even in farming communities for resting, working, or socialising. Now, this humble piece of heritage furniture is finding new relevance in New Zealand's interior design and antique appreciation communities.
In Aotearoa, where craftsmanship, sustainability, and cultural fusion are highly valued, the 马儿板凳 is increasingly viewed as a functional art piece. Whether placed in a minimalist Wellington loft, a rustic Queenstown cabin, or as a conversation starter in a boutique Auckland design store, the bench bridges cultures and eras with its simple elegance and cultural storytelling.
New Zealand collectors, stylists, and even early childhood educators are showing interest in such heirloom objects that reflect slower living, storytelling through design, and multicultural appreciation. With New Zealand’s growing connections to Asian cultures through migration, education, and travel, the horse bench is part of a broader movement toward decor that’s meaningful, handmade, and rooted in tradition.
As Kiwis increasingly seek unique furniture pieces that carry depth and cultural legacy, the 马儿板凳 is no longer just a bench — it's a symbol of cross-cultural respect, historic preservation, and timeless design sensibility.
