A beautiful antique rice pounder over a hundred years old has been turned upside down and repurposed as a side table or stool. Originally the opposite hollow side was used to pound rice. We added butterfly detail to the top and finished with a wire brush and our secret ingredient revealing the unique wood grain. It’s all in the details.
This side table or stool was hand made in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
