Carved-Out Monoxyle Wooden Bowl, Japan, 1900s

$545
Description

This rare monoxyle bowl would have been carved from a single piece of wood. The technique, which takes its name from an old method for carving canoes or simple boats, has produced a wabi sabi-like silhouette that suggests the hand of the maker. The bowl was made in the Meiji era, a period of great societal, political and industrial change that laid the foundations for modern Japan. 

In good vintage condition, with some marking just below the rim.

Béton Brut

Béton Brut presents rare, design-led furniture from Europe and Japan. The collection, drawn from over a century of design, coheres around functional art & sculptural forms. Béton Brut comes from the concrete finish used in modernist architecture. It is rational yet organic, just like the collection.
