About the Item

An antique primitive chair with a raw, sculptural presence shaped by its simple and elemental form. The piece retains an expressive handmade quality—an engaging blend of roughness and warmth, as though the maker’s hands are still visible in its surface. Its silhouette is striking in its simplicity, giving it the appearance of a small sculptural object rather than a functional seat. Due to its structure and age, the chair is not recommended for practical use. Instead, it serves beautifully as an artful display piece, bringing depth, texture, and quiet authenticity to an interior. Placed on the floor, on a platform, or incorporated into a curated vignette, it contributes a grounded, organic presence that complements minimalist and wabi-sabi environments. Additional antique furniture and decorative objects sourced from across Japan are also available upon request.
