Motomi Kawakami 'Seoto KD346' walnut dining table for Hida
 
For centuries, famed Hida artisans in Gifu prefecture have played a role in Japan's woodworking culture, crafting iconic bentwood furniture from sustainable local forests. Established in 1920, Hida Sangyo builds upon the Japanese heritage of craftsmanship and sustainability from their headquarters in Gifu, which remains one of Japan's leading furniture production areas. In addition to offering iconic designs from midcentury masters like Sori Yanagi and Enzo Mari, Hida produces contemporary creations from international designers such as Atsuhiko Misawa and atelier oï.
 
First introduced in 2011 by designer Motomi Kawakami, the Seoto series soon began collecting international design awards and recognition. The Seoto model 'KD346' table features carved detail that conveys both the beauty of the natural wood material and the expert craftsmanship that designed and built it. The tabletop appears to float when viewed from the side, creating a similar effect as the Seoto KD201 chairs here and Seoto KD281 bench here. When combined, the Seoto series creates a strikingly sophisticated set. Please note that the wood's grain, color and features vary from item to item due to the organic nature of the material.
