The ancestors of Alain Lai, owner of the JNL brand, who participated in "Interior Show" -2008, created furniture for the dukes of Burgundy. He himself creates for the Belgian royal court

The Belgian brand JNL has an enviable clientele: European monarchs, Hollywood celebrities. A few hundred years ago, Flemish cabinetmakers filled out orders for the French dukes. Alain Lai continues the glorious traditions, a descendant of those Flemish, owner and chief designer of the brand JNL. He says that in modern design eclecticism takes the first place, and illustrates this thesis with eclectic pieces of furniture. There is only a little bit of them: classical décor, inherent baroque furniture, rare materials characteristic of ar-deko (for example, exotic wood - I order, race, it is a tiger tree), and minimalist, pro-Japanese lines.
