A dining group commissioned for the permanent exhibition room at the Tokyo Hamacho Hotel named Tokyo Craft Room, as a collaboration between Claesson Koivisto Rune Architects in Stockholm and master wood craftsman Yuji Takahashi in Hiroshima. Using only hand tools, all planar surfaces are ever so slightly convex - planed, not sanded–to a very soft and gentle, tactile finish. Thin at the edges, but retaining stability through the thicker central portion. Between leg and top, as well as between the leg and support-beam, the connection protrudes through the surface.
