Table No 1

Table No 1 was made out of 1000 meters of wood, 1/2” x 1” thick, cut in all different lengths without any predetermined measurements. It took some time before the idea and construction method for this table was conceived.

The wood was painted in various color combinations depending upon what was available in my workshop.

The pieces of wood were fixed together with a tacker that shot little nails into the spots where the pieces connected.

Table No 1 was awarded the Jury’s Special Award at the Asahikawa International Furniture competition in 1993.

Subsequently, it was presented at the Tokyo International Furniture Fair and later on in many other places like the Frozen Fountain in Amsterdam.
