Keep it long, treasure it long.

Adjustable to your preferred height

Turuya Shoten, based in Yamagata Prefecture, specializes in rattan storage goods and stools, and has been a long-time featured brand on ZUTTO. We are captivated not only by the rustic and beautiful appearance that seamlessly blends into everyday life but also by the lightweight and durable functionality of rattan.

While interior items are not often moved around in daily life, the charm of Turuya Shoten's legged baskets and racks lies in their lightweight design, making them easy to move even for women. They can be used during cleaning, when you want to relax by moving them slightly, or even when children want to organize their belongings. Experience the safe and secure craftsmanship of Japan in those little moments of daily life. These items possess a timeless charm that never fades.

Designed to Fit in Tight Spaces

Introducing the "high-low" rattan legged basket from Turuya Shoten's "Hail" series. With its sleek, elongated form, this storage basket comfortably fits into even the smallest spaces.

Its design minimizes depth, making it perfect for areas like changing rooms, beside sofas or beds, and even gaps in walls, transforming them into natural storage spaces. In the changing room, it can hold towels and detergents; by the bedside, it can store blankets, magazines, or paperbacks; and in the living room, it can keep remotes and glasses organized. Available in three heights, you can choose the perfect size for your space.

Compared to wood, rattan is lightweight and easy to handle, and its flexibility has made it a popular material for creating storage goods and chairs for many years. Each Turuya Shoten rattan basket is handcrafted through the processes of "bending," "wrapping," and "weaving," which imbues it with a sense of warmth and human touch. The delicacy of Japanese craftsmanship translates into robust construction, resulting in surprisingly durable and long-lasting items.

Not Just for Storage, But Also as a Display Shelf

When it comes to what you want to place on a side table, think of glasses filled with drinks, plates, ambient lighting, potted plants, or room diffusers. These are primarily items you don’t want to topple over, and the second tier and top surface are designed with supportive shelves to ensure stability. When you place your favorite decorative items, trinkets, vases, or candles on it, the design allows them to be easily visible from the side, providing both aesthetic appeal and reassurance. While storage tools are meant for "putting things away," this rattan three-tier rack side table also serves as a display shelf.

The natural rattan wood has a white, relatively uniform, and beautiful surface, but its allure goes beyond that. The bottom of the basket showcases a perfectly aligned "kagome" weave and "meseki" weave, reflecting the precision and beauty of the artisan's craft. The technique of bending long rattan pieces that combine legs, supports, and handles is remarkable, and the way the ribbon-like rattan is tightly wrapped invites admiration. These details encourage you to appreciate the craftsmanship. When you catch a glimpse of it in your daily life, it brings a little lift to your mood, filled with elements that make you want to cherish it.

The Paradox of Being Delicate Yet Durable

Rattan, a material from the palm family, is a highly resilient plant that grows naturally in the jungles of tropical rainforests. It grows and falls repeatedly, taking about 3 to 5 years to mature. It is said to grow quickly and is entirely a natural material sourced from the wild, not through reforestation.

Each rattan piece appears delicate with a diameter of about 3 cm, but it possesses a load-bearing capacity four times that of wood. Rattan products are said to last for decades when used properly and cared for, deepening in color over the years, embodying a "tool for living that grows with you."

Additionally, as a grass, rattan has vascular channels that provide excellent breathability, allowing it to absorb odors deeply. Unlike wooden cabinets, which can develop unpleasant smells over time depending on the material, rattan alleviates such concerns, allowing you to use it with peace of mind for a long time.
