tabine 『mitten tray / Pagoda Tree』(267)sold

This is a piece by Ryo Matsuzawa, a woodworker I personally admire who works under the brand name tabine.

The soft curves are carved and polished by hand, giving the piece an incredibly smooth texture that makes you want to keep running your fingers over it. The back is also finished with care, so it can be used upside down.

Because of its beautiful shape, it works as an object even when no accessories are placed on it. We have two displayed in the hallway by our entrance.

tabine  
mitten tray, shaped like a stylized hand

It looks like an oversized mitten or a handprint left in the snow. It has been gently carved toward the center.

Its pleasant texture makes you mysteriously want to slip your hand into it. Use it as a tray for favorite accessories, a place to put your keys by the entrance, or a container for dried flowers or potpourri on your bedside table or shelf. The back is flat, so you can turn it over and use it as a display stand.

Like hand games or hand signals, we also recommend combining a left and right pair in various arrangements.

In an interior with many straight lines, pleasant curves can create a calming atmosphere and bring a sense of cohesion to the room. This is a tray that suits any interior style and anyone who uses it.

This piece is finished with oil made from natural materials.
