Draw comparison ·
Lacquer work and architecture
Both require a balance between aesthetic and structural considerations. For lacquer, structural considerations require the wood to be lacquered on both sides, meaning half of the work is aesthetically hidden if only viewed from one side.
Gray's progression ·
With lacquer work
Started with works viewed only from one side; later works were viewed from multiple sides
Further progression ·
Growth into furniture design
Modern, simple, functional
