Keep it long, treasure it long.

A quiet rattan table

Tsuruya Shoten, a Yamagata-based brand that makes storage goods and stools made from rattan, is a brand that we have been introducing for many years. We are attracted not only to the simple and beautiful appearance that blends seamlessly into our lives, but also to the high functionality of rattan, which is light and durable. We asked Tsuruya Shoten to create the third ZUTTO special order item, which embodies the "I wish this part was like this" of the popular rattan basket with legs.

We also have the [Special order] Rattan woven stool and [Special order] Rattan 3-tier slim depth rack available in the same series.

So that it can be placed in a narrow space

The [Special Order] Rattan 3-Tier Rack Side Table was created after repeated discussions between ZUTTO and Tsuruya Shoten. This side table will create a unified look in your room when combined with Tsuruya Shoten's laundry basket, which we have introduced at past order meetings. The staff who planned this item are fans of Tsuruya Shoten's baskets and are regular users. Not only does it look great, but the lightness and ease of use of rattan means that if we had a table of this size, we thought that it would be fun to use it in a way that suits how you relax in your room.

The [Special Order] Rattan 3-Tier Rack Side Table has a lacquer coating on the top only, which retains the texture of rattan, to make it easier to clean. The rest of the table is left unpainted, so it will look natural when used as a side table with other series. The white, matte texture is light and matches well with the flooring in the living room, the tiles in the entrance or kitchen, and next to the bed.

Compared to wood, rattan is light and easy to handle, and it is easy to bend, so it has been used to make storage items and chairs as tools for daily life since ancient times. Tsuruya Shoten's rattan baskets are made by hand in all processes, from bending to rolling to weaving, so you can feel the warmth of human hands. The delicacy of the Japanese people makes them sturdy and durable, making them stronger and longer-lasting than expected.

Not only for storage, but also as a decorative shelf

Things you want to put on a side table include cups and plates with drinks in them, indirect lighting, potted plants, room diffusers, etc. In other words, the main things you want to keep from falling over, and the second level/top board for placing such items has a supporting shelf to keep them stable and not sagging. The design is easy to see even from the side when you place your favorite miscellaneous items, ornaments, vases, candles, etc. on it, and it gives you a sense of security. Storage tools are meant to "put things away," but this rattan 3-tier rack side table is designed to also serve as a decorative shelf.

The solid wood surface of the rattan is white and relatively uniform and beautiful, but that's not all that catches your eye. The bottom of the basket is woven with a perfectly aligned Kagome weave and Meseki weave, which shows the precision and beauty of the craftsman's skill, and you can't help but admire the special technique used to bend the long rattan that is integrated with the legs, posts, and handles. You'll want to pay attention to the attention to detail, such as the way the tape-like rattan is wrapped around it without any slack. It's full of elements of attachment that will lift your spirits when you suddenly see it in your daily life, and make you want to cherish it.

This [custom-made] rattan 3-tier rack side table was made with the unique perspective of a regular user. Even if you change the purpose or location according to the growth of your family and the changing lifestyle, it will fit in and fit in well, so it will become a storage tool that will be a part of your life for a long time.

The wonder of being delicate yet strong

The material, rattan, is a palm plant, a very hardy plant that grows in the jungles of tropical rainforest regions. It grows and falls, falls and grows again and again, and grows in 3 to 5 years. It is said to grow in a short period of time, and it is a natural material that is not planted, but is a blessing from nature.

Each rattan stalk is about 3 cm in diameter and looks delicate, but it is a material that has four times the load-bearing and absorbing capacity of wood. It is said that rattan products can last for decades if used properly and taken care of, and the color deepens as it is used for years, making it a "living tool that grows."

In addition, rattan is a grass that has ducts running through it, which makes it breathable and said to be able to absorb odor components deep inside. Some wooden chests of drawers can develop a strange odor after years of use, but rattan does not have this problem and can be used for a long time with peace of mind.
