Japanese Minimalist Abachi Wood Sculptural Chair Splint Stool by Sho Ota

About the Item

At the intersection of industrial design and craftsmanship, Sho's sculptural works are both minimalistic and multi-layered. Every piece of collectible design is handmade by Sho himself. The development of the final form appears slowly through the making process and also depends on the wood – its appearance and texture can vary, making each piece unique. A new series of side tables made of Abachi wood, seeking to push the boundaries of woodcrafting. In his inimitable style, Sho examines the idea of beginning with a minimalist form and subtly building in complexity. For his new Splint side table, Sho has unified a large rectangular mass, which serves as a base, with smaller elements of wood; the main component alone is unstable but when assembled with the secondary parts, it is strengthened, allowing it to function as a table. Usually in furniture production, these parts are hidden or blended within the structure of an object, however, here Sho has deliberately left them exposed, simplifying them and presenting them in a form that is easy to understand. Sho explains: ‘I find such simple, true minimalism without concealment to be beautiful. I find grace and beauty in its honesty.

    At the intersection of industrial design and craftsmanship, Sho's sculptural works are both minimalistic and multi-layered. Every piece of collectible design is handmade by Sho himself. The development of the final form appears slowly through the making process and also depends on the wood – its appearance and texture can vary, making each piece unique. With all joints of the coat rack left visible, Sho Ota brings back the pleasure of contemplating real wood. With his design objects, Sho seeks to find an alternative to industrially - flattened wood and instead encourages us to discover the imperfection of this natural material. Sho Ota's special sence of color gives this wooden functional sculpture...
