Japanese Lacquer Display Stand | Curved Design | Display for a Japanese-Style Tea Setting

Tea utensils. This Japanese-style lacquer display stand pairs an elegant, flowing curved design with a deep-brown high-gloss lacquer finish, expressing both the understated beauty unique to Japanese lacquer craft and a modern design vocabulary. The form is simple and generous, free of superfluous decoration; through its streamlined curves and mirror-like lacquer surface it sets off the objects displayed on it, embodying the principles of “empty space” and “balance” in Japanese aesthetics. The stand has an arched, bridge-like structure, with naturally curling curved bases at each side that not only improve its stability but also make the stand itself resemble a piece of sculpture. Whether used for a tea setting, as a base for a flower vase, to display bonsai or to show antiques from a collection, it adds depth and a visual focal point to a space. Combining function and artistry, it is a fine display piece of a kind rarely found for Japanese-style interiors and collection displays.

Features

◆ Japanese Lacquer Work

Made in the traditional Japanese lacquer manner, the surface is a fine, deep, high-gloss lacquer in a calm, mellow tone, showing the Japanese regard for detail and material quality.

◆ Elegant Curved Form

The form is a flowing curve, the two sides extending naturally in an arc, so that it is both structurally handsome and sculptural; it looks well on its own or beneath a piece from a collection.

◆ Adding Height to a Display

As a display stand it lifts a flower vase, incense burner, tea ceremony utensil, sculpture, ceramic or artwork, creating a display at varied heights and giving the space more depth.

◆ Japanese Interior Aesthetics

Simple yet substantial, it sits naturally in a tatami room, at a tea gathering, or in wabi-sabi, contemporary Japanese and East Asian interiors, and does much for the atmosphere of a room.

◆ For Collecting and for Use

Besides serving as a display stand, it can be used for presenting fine goods, commercial displays, exhibition layouts and window design — a well-made display piece that is both practical and artistic.
