Its proportions are generous, yet it remains visually light thanks to the openwork “sukashi” details in the surrounding rails and the refined, clean lines.

Dimensions: height 33 cm, width 90 cm, depth 90 cm.

The table is made from dark hardwood with a deep, warm sheen. The legs are subtly sculpted with elegant curves and a decorative relief detail, giving the piece a calm, serene presence.

Beautiful as a low coffee table, but also perfect as a display table for ceramics and collectibles, as a base for a small tea ceremony setting, or simply styled with a stack of art books and an ikebana arrangement.

Condition: in beautiful condition with only light, normal signs of age and use. See less
