About the Item

This is a one-of-a-kind exhibition stand that utilizes an old L-shaped concrete made around the latter half of the 20th century. The L-shaped stone material that serves as the main body has a rough but tasteful expression, and traces of hand processing are faintly visible on the sides and back, so it is not certain whether it was made as an industrial product or not. The balance between its earthy and sculptural forms is particularly appealing to those who enjoy old things. Round and flat stones are used for the supports. The two stones are smoothly polished, probably river stones, which create a tension and balance like a sculptural work within the practicality of supporting the pedestal. The appearance of this seemingly improvised structure, on the contrary, gives the impression of calculated beauty. The top surface was selected from a variety of stones to be horizontal. It is ideal as a pedestal to quietly enhance your favorite collection of bonsai, viewing stones, small Buddhist statues, or wood carvings. Just by placing one in your interior design, you can create a sense of serenity and tension in the margins of your space. No two pieces are alike. This display stand, made of old and natural objects, is truly a one-of-a-kind artistic product.
