"In the past, everyday objects were treated with care, with something verging on respect. While this attitude may in part have been a result of the scarcity of goods in past times, I believe it principally resulted from the honest quality of their workmanship and the fact that the more an object was used, the more its beauty became apparent. As our constant companions in life, such objects gave birth to a feeling of intimacy and even affection."- Soetsu Yanagi - The Beauty of Everyday Things

A small table developed from a wagon's axel with a warm and soft appereance. The shape resembles a small tree with the tree trunk (legs) and the tree crown (top). It's assemblable, meaning it can be flat-packed when needed. The two legs interlock one in another.
these features and Its natural look make it versatile and suitable for different spaces and occasions; it works for fun board games, children's bedrooms, next to the couch, to have a nice time with friends...

As Found. Design Inspiration from Regional Folk Craft Museums.

Human history can be found in the things we have made and used. We furnish our world with everyday objects, works of art and ritual artefacts. Many of these things seem to have a story of their own, and some even have a career that has brought them to the museum. Taken out of time and context, they can now be found and discovered in glass cabinets.
