This Could well Be An Anti-Ikea Ad

My friend H took me for a ride to an antique furniture market. This is even a bigger place than where I got my four pieces. The whole street is lined up with shops. I could easily fall in love with the stuff there, especially the ones that marked the basic practicality of the times and minimal design. I met a vendor there who is from my home town. She told me the whole family asset worth of a few million US dollars is in the shop. Every piece they sell, they use the money to buy more. They live in the shop wired with security alarm and barking dogs.

These are few cabinets for Chinese herbs.
