Japanese Antique Wooden Block Workbench 1900s-1940s / Display Stand Wabisabi
Located in Chōsei District Nagara, JP
This is an old Japanese wooden block workbench, believed to have been used in the early Showa period (1900s–1940s). The material is zelkova (keyaki) wood. The countless scratches, dents, and the smoothness of its surface are proof of the many years of daily use and the touch of human hands that have polished it over time. The iron fittings remaining on the surface tell the story of the work once performed here, while also serving as a striking visual accent. The inherent durability and beautiful grain of zelkova have gained even greater depth through the passage of time, creating a unique and irreplaceable texture. Left as it is, it stands as a powerful art piece; as a display stand, it functions beautifully to enhance the presence of whatever is placed upon it. There is a slight tilt, but this too is part of its individuality, telling the tale of its long history. It is not in perfection, but in the imperfections shaped by time, that the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi resides. This wooden workbench is more than just an old tool — it is a sculptural object that reflects the era and the lives of the people who used it. Whether in a home interior, gallery, or as store display furniture...

French Antique Primitive Table 1950s / Coffee Table Wabi Sabi
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is an old primitive-style side table from France, made in the 1950s. You can feel the strength of natural wood in this table, a sensation not typically found in ordinary furniture. Its overwhelming presence adds a unique charm to any room. This side table is recommended as both a display stand and a regular table, showcasing its versatility across various settings. Since ancient times, people have crafted essential tools from local materials to endure harsh natural environments, passing down these skills and tools to future generations, nurturing a cultural way of life. This table embodies that tradition and culture. Tools crafted to survive harsh natural conditions acquire a distinctive flavor over time, reflecting the lifestyles of their users. The tougher the natural environment and the more vulnerable we are, the more profoundly their power is felt. In today's era of abundant cheap and disposable products, using such historically significant furniture to reimagine our surroundings offers new perspectives and values. Upholding this philosophy, we meticulously collect beautiful, robust, and unique antique furniture from France.
