Wabi Sabi Rustic Drinking Trough, France, 1950s

About the Item

Wabi Sabi; Rustic; Drinking Trough; France; 1950s; Mid-Century Modern; A rustic wabi-sabi wooden drinking trough made out of wood. The design reminds us of the wabi-sabi philosophy which centres around the appreciation of the beauty of natural imperfection. The concept of wabi-sabi finds its roots in old Japanese traditions. The idea involves the understanding that everything ages with grace, and becomes more beautiful as it breaks, fades, or scars. It is the understanding that old and worn-out things have their own elegant charm. This piece would fit well in a zen-inspired Axel Vervoordt style interior. Check out our Goldwood storefront for more rustic pieces.
