A square silhouette, softly rounded edges, and exposed joinery emphasize the beauty of its construction. Broad upper slats contrast with an open lattice shelf below, creating a pleasing interplay of texture, symmetry, and negative space. The honey-toned finish highlights natural knots and variations in the grain.

An evocative accent for Japandi, wabi-sabi, or thoughtfully layered interiors. Display as a sculptural wooden frame or pair with a custom glass top to create a distinctive side table while preserving its open architectural form.

Dimensions: Approximately 19″ across × 18½″ high.

Condition: Visible surface wear, small marks, and age-related wood checks, as pictured. See less
