TOCHI Table

The table made with the plank of this solidJapanese horse chestnut was made for the Pixiv (Japanese online community for illustrationartists) office in Tokyo common space usually used during lunch time. Tochi tables incorporate the joinery, craftsmanship and experience of designer. Tochi table set is three different size one piece chestnut dining tables. Beautifully textured one piece wood surface was chosen as the main idea for table set showing the variety of people who use those tables everyday. Client was looking for a new table set for 100 Pixiv members mainly used for lunch break and occasionally for parties or meetings, in which case, tables should be connected to each other. After a study designer made a decision to make specific joints which wouldn’t give strong impact as tables were connected through concurrent edges what shows very high levelof Japanese craftsmanship quality. To fulfill the whole idea tables’ legs, inspired by Japanese traditional structure, were designed in a simple way also.
