Initially created for an exhibition in Germany. The designers wanted to make something that celebrated Japanese bamboo and the practice of Ryurei, a style of Japanese tea ceremony in which the tea is served while seated on chairs rather than kneeling.
Designed to be easily dismantled, transported and be reused, thus saving the resources needed to buy a new one.
The tabletop is made from Kuri timber, Japanese chestnut, a hardwood known for its strength, moisture resistance, and unique grain. It is used in traditional high-end furniture and instruments due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. The wood’s distinctive look is enhanced with a traditional black stain and contrasts beautifully with the urethane finished bamboo legs and brass structure.
YOSHIYUKI AND JUNKO HORIBE
Husband and wife team Yoshiyuki and Junko Horibe create their beautiful designs in their workshop, a renovated old Japanese house in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan.
Their work redefines time honoured Japanese design, taking traditional timbers and craftsmanship into a fresh new direction, open to the influence of international design. The timber they select not only has unique aesthetic qualities and fragrances but also benefits such as emitting compounds that have a relaxing effect.
They emphasise functionality in their work, carefully selecting and combining finishes and materials to create their designs.
