"Comfortable to use, comfortable to display"

As the saying goes, Kenta Nakanishi's works are attractive for their comfortable usability and elegant appearance.

Nakanishi, who enjoys mountain climbing, originally made tools for outdoor activities.
He says he consciously creates items that appear sophisticated, so they naturally blend into daily life.

He pays attention to every detail, such as how the shadows are cast when hit by light and the unity of the wood grain.

This is a small pitcher made of chestnut wood.

Its rounded, soft shape has the familiarity of a small bowl, yet the addition of a spout gives it the appearance of a beautiful tool.

It can be used for salad dressing, sauces at meals, or as a milk pitcher for tea time.
Just adding it to your table brings a pleasant change to your everyday scene.

The warm wood grain and gentle texture unique to chestnut wood are appealing, and it naturally blends in with food and other tableware. The deepening texture with use is also one of its charms.

Even when not in use, its presence on a shelf is eye-catching.
It's a tool that will naturally find more and more uses in your daily life.
