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.
