"Comfortable to use, comfortable to display"

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

Nakanishi-san, whose hobby is mountain climbing, originally made tools for outdoor activities.
He makes his creations with an awareness of elegance, so that they naturally blend into daily life.

They are crafted with attention to detail, such as how the shadows are cast when light hits them, and the sense of unity in the wood grain.

This is a free-standing scoop made of chestnut wood.

It can be used to scoop tea leaves, coffee beans, sugar, and more.
Because it's something you use every day, its appearance evokes a sense of comfort each time you pick it up.

Its free-standing shape means that when you place it on a table while using it, the tip doesn't touch the surface, giving it a neat impression.
There is beauty not only in its stored state but also in its appearance while in use.

The soft wood grain and warm expression unique to chestnut wood naturally blend in next to tea caddies and canisters.

It's a tool that quietly accompanies you during your morning coffee brewing or tea preparation.
It's a tool that quietly accompanies the everyday actions of daily life.
