About the Item
This antique low table was crafted in the Early Showa Period '1926-'.
In Japan, where people traditionally sit on the floor, tables are designed to be lower in height compared to Western-style tables.
Known as a chabudai, this traditional Japanese folding table features collapsible legs, allowing it to be stored compactly when not in use.
What makes this piece special is that it is crafted from oak wood—a rare choice for chabudai—showcasing the distinctive and attractive grain patterns typical of Japanese oak.
The gently shaped legs add a charming touch, making it a simple yet delightful presence in any space.
As an antique piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time.
Cleaned and disinfected with non-toxic solution.
We have conducted a meticulous check for any broken or damaged areas, and the result is absolutely problem-free. It is in excellent condition.

Matthias Biberon Japanese Cedar & Oak Low Table 2024
By Matthias Biberon
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
These low table is a very special Matthias Biberon work, in Japanese Cedar and Oak. All joints are visible is the artist's signature in the pure Japanese influence of Mingei thought and Wabi Sabi. This is the beauty of the everyday object, one whose details we never tire of rediscovering.
Matthias Biberon (Paris, 1977) lives and works in Perche (Normandy / France).
He began working with wood in 2019, leaving behind photography and ceramics, which he had practiced successfully for many years. In wood, he finds the pleasure of imagining shapes and building them, with a combination of both naivety and attention to detail, and a freedom that neither conceptualism nor ceramics had given him. His furniture is organic, respecting the original shape of the wood and following its knots and veins. The search for balance and precision is one of the cornerstones of Matthias's work.
Carefully sourced, the wood types used - Oak, Elm, Cedar, Walnut - have been dried for decades, giving them an unrivalled patina. His trademark? Visible construction and the blending of materials, with stone a natural addition to his creations; for each of them, he seeks a form of balance, purity and softness, a functionality that is both poetic and sculptural, the simplicity and force of a haiku.
Passionate about art, it was while progressing towards Arts & Crafts that he embraced the aesthetics of functionalism, Mingeï and the thinking of William Morris. He is sensitive to the Arte Povera of Jannis Kounellis and Giovanni Anselmo, the Zen influence of John Cage, the freedom of Don Cherry...
