A Minimal Table Inspired by Japanese Hand Tattooing

Based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Wren & Cooper design minimalist hardwood furniture with simple, graphic details. Their Tebori Table is made of solid bleached maple or natural oak, each with hand turned legs that feature a detail inspired by a traditional type of Japanese hand tattooing, called tebori.
