tabine “mitten tray / Oak” (673) sold

This is a work 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 exceptionally smooth feel that makes you want to keep stroking it. The back is finished with the same care, so it can be turned over and used the other way up.

Because of its beautiful shape, it also works as an objet d’art even without accessories placed on it. We have two in the hallway by our entrance.

tabine  
mitten tray, shaped like a stylized hand

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

Its wonderfully pleasant texture somehow makes you want to slip your hand into it. Use it as a tray for favorite accessories, as a place to keep your keys by the entrance, or to hold dried flowers or potpourri beside your bed or on a shelf. The back is flat, so it can also be turned over and used as a display stand.

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

Adding pleasant curves to an interior with many straight lines can create a soothing atmosphere and bring the room together. This tray suits any interior style and anyone who uses it.

This piece is finished with oil made from natural materials.
