About the Item

This coffee table is made from an old Japanese mortar. It's crafted from zelkova wood and is thought to have been hand-carved using tools. It's larger than most, giving it a striking presence. Finished by hand, rather than by machine, this table's roughly carved, uneven texture creates a unique beauty. The fading that comes with age and the scratches and chips from long-term use blend together to create a primitive look that expresses the beauty of natural change. It can be used as a coffee table or side table. Alternatively, you can place the part with the holes facing upwards and place a board or something on top. Its simple form adds a primitive beauty to any space, creating a serene and beautiful silhouette. Weight: 77.2 kg
