Mueble Japonés


In classical Japan, nature was admired for its imperfection, its asymmetry, its randomness. The beauty of what was created by humans resided in the simple.

Shizen is a furniture concept that brings back the traditional Japanese aesthetic philosophy, it praises the imperfection of nature, using it to create a new functional and unique object.
The shizen shelf is a redesign of the chigaidana shelf, a traditional type of shelving used in classical Japanese homes.

To create a shizen shelf, a fallen tree is chosen and given a new useful life, using its wood and a branch, promoting the philosophy of reuse and respect for nature.
