Key Features:
-
Design & Aesthetic:
- Japanese-Inspired Style: The low-profile, minimalist design of the table and chairs embodies the elegance and simplicity associated with Japanese interiors. The furniture is typically low to the ground, creating a cozy and serene atmosphere for tea drinking or relaxation.
- Tatami Mat and Kung Fu Tea Elements: The table is often paired with tatami mats, commonly used in Japanese homes for seating. This design encourages a mindful and relaxed way of drinking tea, often seen in kung fu tea ceremonies. The smaller size and aesthetic appeal of the set make it a perfect addition to any tea room or zen-inspired corner.
- Rattan Weaving: The chairs or table may feature rattan weaving, a traditional yet modern material that adds texture and warmth. Rattan gives the set a natural, earthy feel while maintaining durability and lightness, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
Materials:
- Solid Wood: The tea table and chair frames are often crafted from solid wood, providing strength and stability. The wood’s natural texture complements the rattan and creates a harmonious balance between rustic and refined elements.
- Rattan Weaving: Used for the seat or backrest of the chairs, rattan weaving is lightweight yet strong, offering comfort and a tactile design that enhances the overall aesthetic.
- Tatami Mats: Traditional tatami mats may line the floor or be incorporated into the base of the table, contributing to the overall Japanese aesthetic. The natural rush grass of tatami mats offers a soft, supportive foundation for sitting.
-
