Japanese Parquetry

Leif.designpark is a design team based in japan, consisting of Takashi Ueno and Mamoru Naito and Keizaburo Honda.

The work that I really loved is called Tone:
“In Japan’s craft culture, predecessors have created much craft work applying the traditional techniques of parquetry, which brings out the natural taste of the various types of wood used. The unstained natural colors of wood must result from absorbing the numerous nutrients within the soil. The diversity is amazing. Tone is an attempt at producing furniture using effectively materials and skills established in the Japanese culture.”

Word Nihon!
