A door is more than just an entrance—it is a vessel of culture, security, and aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese fan culture, the high-end metal door, the Prime of Life, integrates traditional Chinese culture with advanced modern manufacturing to offer a solution that is both functionally practical and artistically meaningful, redefining “the aesthetics and symbolism of the door” in contemporary living spaces.



Draped in a high-class grey—aligning with the simple and elegant aesthetic trend of modern homes, the door suggests a calm and composed lifestyle. Its handle, formed by two symmetrical semicircular “fans” that unite into a perfect circle, speaks of family harmony and career fulfillment. In Chinese, the word for “fan” is a homophone for “kindness”. So this design also embodies the Eastern wisdom of a family ethos of kindness. When the door is opened, the semicircular fans unfold like welcoming arms—an auspicious feng shui motif for inviting prosperity and welcoming guests. By reimagining this cultural symbol through a modern lens, the door achieves a dual elevation of functionality and cultural resonance. Below, gold fan‑shaped embellishments on either side nod to the theme, “the Prime of Life”, symbolizing the radiant life moments and imbuing the space with renewed vitality and creativity.



Built with a 3.0 full-panel precision cast hinge, the door is engineered to support over 200 kilograms, ensuring long-term structural stability with no risk of sagging. The patented 15mm copper handle seamlessly integrates with the panel, offering a refined texture while serving as a striking visual centerpiece at the entrance. The entire door is finished with an eco-friendly, water-based paint and undergoes a meticulous seven-step polishing process, resulting in a smooth, wear-resistant surface with a lasting, elegant luster. Non-toxic and odorless, it meets both aesthetic and health standards.
