What are the advantages of furniture constructed using joinery?
A. Joinery provides unyielding strength, ensuring that furniture will not weaken, squeak or crack over time. Wood contracts or expands in response to humidity. Maria Yee’s interlocking joints expand and contract with the piece – ensuring the strength is never compromised. Furniture made with nails or screws will weaken over time as the wood shifts around the hardware. In addition to its superior quality, some of Maria Yee’s California contemporary designs are more striking with the clean frame structure achieved with pure joinery.
