Japanese woodworker Maeda Mitsuru has been creating woodwork for daily use at his studio in western Tokyo for the last 17 years. His objects are so well-designed that they have never fallen out of popularity since we first introduced his work in the US over a decade ago.
Maeda san spends a significant amount of time considering the design of his work to improve the user’s experience. The carving on the tray is not only beautiful but also helps in stabilizing the objects that are carried on it.
