The Eternal Casket · Multifunctional Ottoman Bench
(Design Concept: When a Damascus Courtyard Meets a Parisian Salon)

I. The Soulful Silhouette of Cultural Fusion

Structural Aesthetics

• The base features arched door carvings in Lebanese cedarwood, with double-curved mortise-and-tenon joints paying homage to Ottoman architectural geometry.

• Side panels are inlaid with Persian blue-glazed ceramic tiles arranged in star-and-crescent motifs.

• The seating surface is upholstered in Moroccan hand-tufted leather, its undulating texture resembling Saharan dunes, edged with Byzantine gold-threaded tassels cascading to the floor.

Teruier Furniture Design Language

• Hydraulic hinges are concealed within perforated wheat-patterned brass plates (a signature brand element), releasing cedarwood essential oil aromas upon opening—a sensory ritual inspired by Mediterranean storage chests.

II. The Triple Realm of Intelligent Storage

(Inspired by the Modular Philosophy of Damascus Caravan Trunks)

Main Chamber · The Vaulted Treasury

• A 55cm-deep main compartment with adjustable shelves:
  ▶ Upper tier: Velvet-lined jewelry slots (inspired by Sultan’s treasure caskets)
  ▶ Lower tier: Wine storage insulated with Provençal vineyard-inspired wool felt

Side Wings · Hidden Mechanisms

• Sliding carved panels reveal:
  ▶ Left: A foldable writing desk + Venetian glass inkwell slot (reviving Ottoman scribe traditions)
  ▶ Right: A copper mirror and spice compartments (recreating Middle Eastern vanity secrets)

Base Platform · The Nomadic System

• A pull-out camel caravan-style leather trunk:
  ▶ Detachable as a standalone jewelry case or tea set carrier
  ▶ Lined with Antalyan linen-cotton shockproof fabric

III. A Dialogue of Trans-Temporal Materials

Design Narrative
“Lifting the seat releases a whisper of cedar and the chime of brass mechanics, transporting you to the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair—where Ottoman stained glass first conversed with French Art Nouveau. More than storage, this is a reunion ritual between Silk Road caravans and European salon culture in modern living spaces.”

(Note: This design avoids commercial branding; teruierfurniture appears solely as a cultural motif in craftsmanship details.)

The design achieves:

• Harmonious coexistence of Western minimalism and Middle Eastern opulence

• Deep synergy between nomadic storage wisdom and contemporary needs

• Poetic interplay of mechanical precision and artisanal warmth

“True luxury lies in transforming every motion into a ceremonial dialogue of civilizations.”
