"Comfortable to use, comfortable to simply have around"

As the saying goes, Kenta Nakanishi's works are captivating for their pleasant usability and refined presence.

Mr. Nakanishi, who enjoys mountain climbing, originally created tools for outdoor activities.
He makes sure his creations are elegant and blend naturally into daily life.

He meticulously crafts his pieces, paying attention to details such as how shadows are cast when light hits them, and the seamless integration of wood grain.

This is a tray made from cherry wood.

It's the kind of item you'll naturally want to pick up during everyday moments, like carrying coffee and bread in the morning, or gathering snacks and drinks for an afternoon treat, as you move between the dining table and the kitchen.

The gentle color and smooth texture unique to cherry wood are pleasing, and watching its expression deepen little by little with use is one of its charms.
Care has been taken with the raised rim and ease of holding, so you can use it without hesitation in your daily life.

It's perfect for meals or tea time for one, and it also makes a good place to put accessories or glasses.

This tray's beauty is evident not only when in use but also when simply placed on a shelf or table. It's a tool that quietly blends into the scenery of your life and will be a long-lasting companion.
