十二时,是中国传统的时间度量,一天被分为十二个时辰
The brand name 十二时慢 (pronunciation: shi er shi man, direct translation: 12-hours slow life) indicates a traditional Chinese measurement of time that a day is divided into 12 Chinese hours;
人们相信,每个时辰,每一天,都应该慢慢地,用心去过
Our ancestors believe, every hour and every day should be spent attentively and decently.
取名十二时慢,正是因为它很中国,世界家居需要更多中国的名字
Therefore, we named our brand in such way. It is a Chinese brand. It is established to present Chinese design to the world.
