The design is clean and functional, with a strong balance between open display and closed storage.

Dimensions: height 61 cm, width 60 cm, depth 29 cm.

The lower section features two drawers and a compartment with two sliding doors. Above, an open display area was traditionally used to present treasured tea bowls, lacquerware, or tea utensils. The wood has a deep, warm tone and lively grain, with a patina that has only become richer over time.

Today it fits effortlessly into a contemporary interior: as a compact display cabinet in a living space, as storage for tableware or books, or in an entryway for everyday essentials. A quiet statement piece that styles beautifully with ceramics, a plant, or a restrained branch arrangement for a wabi-sabi touch.

In very good condition; only one crossbar is missing (see photo), without affecting the function or overall appearance. See less
