IPPIN PROJECT is showcasing Iwakagu wooden tray placemats that aims to complement the dining experience and add comfort to our daily living.
The wooden tray is made from “obstructive trees,” collected from the local area in Shizuoka.
“Obstructive trees” are trees that obstruct buildings or traffic or have fallen due to natural disasters. These materials are not normally used for woodworking due to their unevenness and other reasons. However, due to being naturally grown within the town, the wood from these trees carry unique grain patterns and expressions. The wood is sliced by skilled craftsman so thin that it can be seen through, and is pasted together to create a thin, light, and long-lasting wood piece.
Through these unique resources, the obstructive trees are reborn for the elegant, daily use of wooden tools and practical items.
Come and discover the world of fine craftsmanship at IPPIN PROJECT in Maker’s Guild.
