Japanese Old Stool 1940s-1960s / Side Chair Wabisabi

About the Item

This is an old stool made in Japan. It was made in the mid-Showa period (1940s-1960s). The top surface is made of cedar wood and the legs are made of iron. Despite the combination of rustic materials, the stool has developed a unique texture due to its use over time. Particularly eye-catching is the rusty appearance of the iron legs. The texture is not artificially created, but is the result of natural aging that gives this stool its unique character. It has a rough yet quiet beauty that is very appealing to those who prefer an industrial feel. Its solid structure provides a sense of stability without wobble. The seat is designed not to rotate. We also recommend using it as a side table, taking advantage of its small size. The beauty of the aging process and the taste that shows that it has been carefully used for many years. You can enjoy the spirit of “wabi-sabi” that resides in this gem. Weight: 5 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.
