The piece has a compact, square form with a warm dark-brown wood tone and a calm, naturally aged surface.

Dimensions: height 67 cm, width 67 cm, depth 31 cm.

The lower section has two large sliding doors with textured glass, a type of relief glass that subtly conceals the contents. Behind these doors are two wooden shelves, ideal for ceramics, tableware, books or small objects. The upper section has an additional compartment with two wooden sliding doors.

Originally, this type of cabinet was used as a practical storage piece in Japanese interiors, often for tableware, tea accessories or everyday objects. Today, it works beautifully as a compact display cabinet, wall cabinet or storage piece in a stylish contemporary interior. The combination of aged wood, sliding doors and textured glass gives the piece a soft, architectural presence.

In good used vintage condition, with natural wear, patina and small traces consistent with age and use. See less
