Wabi Sabi Antique Container

About the Item

Beautiful antique rice holder from Sumatra. Placed vertically for an umbrella stand or horizontally to place magazines or firewood. So many options on this one of a kind piece. Circa 1930 This container was hand made in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot. Own an Andrianna Shamaris original. Andrianna Shamaris. The Leader In Modern Organic Design.

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.
