Rattan Side Table Yamakawa

Side table produced by the renowned Japanese manufacturer Yamakawa in the 1980s. The company was founded by Mr Yamakawa in Tokyo in 1952. It has become synonymous with elevating traditional Asian basketry to the level of cutting-edge international design and modern art. Yamakawa has commissioned pieces from leading Japanese and international designers, and many of these designs are now part of the permanent collections of modern art museums.

This table draws on the contrast between industrial metal, transparent glass, and traditional natural wickerwork, subtly combining technical and organic design. It consists of a slender, lacquered steel frame woven with dark brown rattan fibre. Despite its striking geometric design, the table appears very airy. Four slender, bent legs support a glass top with rounded corners. Beneath is a small, square storage shelf with a dense cross-weave that is ideal for storing books or magazines. The table has been thoroughly cleaned and has a new glass top. It is in great condition after a partial restoration in our workshop, with only minor scuffs to the steel frame. 

Our collection also includes matching rattan armchairs.
