"Comfortable to use, comfortable to display"

As the saying goes, Kenta Nakanishi's works are attractive for their ease of use and elegant appearance.

Nakanishi-san, who enjoys mountain climbing, originally created tools for outdoor use. He says he creates pieces that are conscious of appearing elegant, so they naturally blend into daily life.

Each piece is meticulously crafted, paying attention to details such as how shadows are cast when light hits them and the seamless integration of the wood grain.

This is a small bowl with a handle, made from maple wood.

It's the perfect size for holding nuts or snacks, or serving side dishes during a meal, adding a subtle touch of elegance to your dining table.

With a handle, it takes on the appearance of both a vessel and a tool. It makes the act of carrying it to the table or picking it up look beautiful.

The bright and soft wood grain unique to maple highlights the colors of your food while adding a light impression to your dining table. Its smooth texture is also pleasant, allowing you to feel the warmth of the wood every time you use it.

Its beauty makes you want to leave it on the shelf even after you've finished using it. It's a vessel you'll want to use for a long time, accompanying your everyday moments.
