CondeHouse
The substantial solid wood tabletop offers a natural wood texture with a firm thickness, available in Hokkaido-grown ash and walnut. Artisans who have long observed wood carefully select materials, appreciating the unique wood grain, and carefully consider the balance between the vitality of solid wood and design.
Utilizing slender straight materials and bringing out a richer expression through "subtraction," the series turns the structure itself into design. The sharp-legged frame, which at first glance resembles metal, is made of cherry wood. Unlike metal, it also provides a warm touch when touched with bare feet. The tabletop features a urethane coating finish that makes daily maintenance easy. The ease of wiping off dirt quickly is a delightful feature.
