The "In’ei" table, inspired by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s essay “In Praise of Shadows,” beautifully embodies the essence of dim light and shadow in Japanese culture. Created in collaboration between product and interior designer Khushali Chawda and ceramic artist Moneshi Shah, this hand-made ceramic and brass table represents a harmonious blend of artistry and craftsmanship.
The base utilizes the traditional Japanese Kurinuki carving technique, where legs are shaped directly from solid clay, yielding a unique and organic texture. This meticulous process ensures that each piece is one-of-a-kind. Topped with a 6 mm thick solid brass surface, the table combines luxury with earthy ruggedness, highlighting the contrast between the reflective brass and the textured ceramic.
More than just furniture, the "In’ei" table invites you to pause, connect, and appreciate timeless craftsmanship that grounds us to the earth.
