Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? This sentence tells the story of China's traditional hospitality culture for thousands of years. In ancient times, there were not many public social venues, and social activities were mostly carried out in the form of door-to-door visits at home.

Therefore, every family has a special hall for entertaining guests, and some families combine the living room and study room into one, so that one room can be used for two purposes: entertaining guests when there are guests, and reading when there are no guests.

Today, although the living room is still the social center of the home space, there are too many public places that can be used as social venues, such as restaurants, cafes, teahouses, etc. People are also increasingly enjoying "inviting guests out", so has receiving friends and relatives at home lost its due value?

In the seemingly glamorous and busy social life, at the wine table and dinner party, watching others clinking glasses and toasting each other... you can only watch with a stiff smile, pretending to fit in, but you can't hide the embarrassment in your heart. A group of people just sit around a table, but they can't show their sincerity to others.

But family dinners break through the shackles of socializing. There is no boasting and routine. The deep affection and care hidden in family dinners are more popular. Family dinners are a different kind of hospitality, which cannot be compared with high-end hotels and restaurants outside. Because there are many people willing to spend money to treat others to a meal, but few are willing to take the trouble to cook. The invited guests can feel the host's intentions and sincerity, which takes the relationship between them to a higher level.

As Mr. Liang Shaoxi, the founder of Dickson Furniture, said: Home is not only a private place, but also a social place, a friendship social place where you can show your warm family to your friends, rather than a business social place where you exchange interests with each other.

The living room becomes the front stage for lifestyle concepts

The living room represents leisure and socializing, is a microcosm of home, and is also a front stage for the concept of life. For guests who come to the appointment, what can be more refreshing than a caring and respectful home atmosphere?

Dickson emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between people in the design of home space. Its living room space never pursues superficial luxury or overly emphasizes the luxurious home atmosphere, but puts "people" first, simplifies the furniture lines, eliminates the wall barrier between the living room and the dining room, fully expands the visual range of people, gives people a generous, transparent and bright feeling, and never makes visiting guests feel uncomfortable due to the home environment.

In order to create a good communication environment, Dickson Furniture optimizes the size of single seats, and tries to set up one more sofa seat than the regular three-seater seat. It also uses modular sofas more often, so that guests can sit together and chat while having their own independent space.

The coffee table is different from the traditional style. It is composed of round tables of different sizes and heights. It visually increases the flexibility of the living room and can be split for use when necessary. Even if the person sitting on the edge of the sofa has a side table, they can place coffee cups, snack plates, etc.

This thoughtfulness is not simple, but comes from the life philosophy advocated by Dickson Furniture. All home furnishing products should serve people, rather than be used to show off and exaggerate. Respect, equality and thoughtfulness are added to the design, so that everyone can experience a beautiful home life.

The kitchen space becomes the second social place

The living room is undoubtedly the social center of every family. Whether it is a casual chat or a visit from guests, the living room is almost always the gathering place. However, this concept has caused a misunderstanding. Is the social space limited to the living room?

Food is the most important thing for people. Chinese people prefer to chat while eating, and sit around a table to share delicious food to enhance their relationship. Therefore, in the design concept of Dickson Furniture, the living room is not only regarded as a social place, but also the dining and kitchen space is regarded as the second social place after the living room. Because Dickson Furniture realized very early that the dining and kitchen space is not only a place for cooking and eating, but for many families, it is also the family center and social activity place.

The area ratio of the kitchen and dining space to the living room is set to 1:1, giving the kitchen and dining space a social function. The number of people that can be accommodated in the living room and the kitchen and dining space is the same, creating a spacious and comfortable dining room for both the host and the guests to enjoy.

At the same time, the dining and kitchen space designed by Dickson Furniture not only meets the cooking needs of frying, stir-frying and deep-frying in daily life, but also takes the golden ratio of 4:6 as the consideration for the design of Chinese and Western kitchens, adding a touch of life under a reasonable layout.

Multifunctional living area becomes emotional bonding center

Why has the kitchen and dining space become the second social place? Not only because people pay more attention to the health of enjoying delicious food, but also because in the trend of "returning to the family", people are increasingly pursuing the feeling of leisure and relaxation at home. In order to extend the possibilities of the kitchen and dining space, it is necessary to explore more usage functions in design.

The multifunctional living area in Dickson Furniture's spatial layout breaks the rigid and closed pattern, integrates the dining room and living room, and also makes the kitchen fluid.

Moreover, Dickson Furniture has given this multifunctional living area more possibilities from the beginning of design. It allows people to stay and interact. Here you can drink tea, read books, work, chat, and enjoy the fun of life with friends. Multifunctionality brings more and higher cohesion, and can continuously dig out interesting entertainment activities and evolve into a relaxing and leisure experience.

It is the way of relaxation and leisure that brings people closer to each other. The multi-functional living area becomes the center of emotional bonds, or it can be said to be a "window of spiritual interaction", allowing us to satisfy our appetite while also satisfying the interaction of our souls.

"Tasteful and Tasty" Scene Layout

Colors, materials, and elements with a sense of design together form a tasteful scene layout. Such a space has an attractive charm and makes people willing to stay here for a long time.

Dickson Furniture uses nature as the source of inspiration for its designs, using orange, blue, yellow and grey as the four main colours, and has designed four classic home furnishing series: Sunrise Phantom, Summer Lavender, Autumn Wheat Field and Winter Plain Shadow, fully displaying the changes of the four seasons in the home environment.

Dickson's designers have an almost paranoid pursuit of beauty in the selection of home furnishing materials, using high-quality materials such as East Asian sponges with greater tensile strength and tear resistance, Italian top-layer full-green semi-aniline leather with better touch and fine texture, and E0-grade imported medium-density fiberboard that meets the European E0 environmental protection standard. The home furnishing materials are almost exquisite and luxurious, but the shape of the furniture is regular and the lines are very simple, so that the overall home furnishing design achieves a balance between luxury and simplicity. Visitors will not feel distant due to the overly luxurious environment, but can appreciate the owner's good taste in the details of the home.

Whether it is socializing or home life, an atmosphere is important, and Dickson Furniture is an expert at scene-based settings.

Perhaps, attending a family dinner is a kind of luck, but Dickson Furniture can make this family dinner tasteful and delicious, and both the guests and the hosts will enjoy it!
