The U table name came from the distinct leg shape. Handcrafted from solid Japanese oak the table top and legs are accentuated by the beautiful brass leg braces.The table can be used as either a dining table or as a desk.
Japanese Oak is a prized hardwood used in high-end furniture and especially valued for ageing Japanese Scotch Whisky, adding unique, complex flavours. It’s similar to European Oak but with a tighter grain due to slow growth conditions in Japan.
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.
