About the Item

This is an old side chair made in Japan. It was made in the postwar period (1950s-1970s), and the material used is cedar wood with a rustic look. The structure, carved in one piece from a large cedar tree, is simple yet powerful, and its rustic and graceful form is impressive. The texture has deepened over the years, showing the traces of long and careful use, giving it a deeply appealing flavor. The soft grain of the cedar wood is visible on the entire surface, and the beauty of nature's form is brought out in the form of this leg. The small size may not be suitable for prolonged use, but it is perfect for sitting on when taking a short break or as an accent piece in a space. It is a piece of furniture that will quietly accompany you in your daily life and remind you of the spirit of wabi-sabi. Weight: 17 kg _______________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
