This rustic wabi-sabi wooden side table can also be used as a stool. The design reminds us of the wabi-sabi philosophy which centres around the appreciation of the beauty of natural imperfection. The concept of wabi-sabi finds its roots in old Japanese traditions. The idea involves the understanding that everything ages with grace, and becomes more beautiful as it breaks, fades, or scars. It is the understanding that old and worn-out things have their own elegant charm. This piece would fit well in a zen-inspired Axel Vervoordt style interior.
