[Young Works] Fruit Tray by Takeshi Hiratsuka

This fruit tray is made by combining three pieces of the same shape.

Each board has been carved with a plane, so no matter where you place an object, it will roll as if it is being sucked into the center.

This fruit tray shows different expressions depending on the angle from which you view it, and functions as an object even when nothing is placed on it.

SIZE  W300×D300×H70

*Since it is made from solid wood, the grain and color will vary from piece to piece.

*We will ship within 14 days.

*Please refrain from using the product in a state where it is constantly exposed to water.

[Precautions for use]

・This product has an oil and wax finish. Please refrain from using it in the dishwasher.

-It can be washed with water, but do not leave any water on it after washing; wipe it off immediately.

・Do not leave the product in direct sunlight, in direct air conditioning, near a fire, etc. This may cause warping, cracking, stains, etc.

[About maintenance]

- If dirt or dust adheres to the product, wipe it off quickly with a dry cloth or a tightly wrung-out cloth.

- If used for a long time, the surface may dry out and lose its luster.

If you apply wax to it about once every six months, just like you would to any other piece of furniture, the wood's texture will improve with use, and you can enjoy the changes that occur over time.

*Wax can be purchased from our online shop or in-store, but please read the precautions carefully before use. Always soak cloths, sponges, etc. that have wax on them thoroughly in water before disposing of them (if left as is, there is a risk of spontaneous combustion).

・Small scratches, dents, ring marks, etc. may be able to be restored using sandpaper or an iron. If you start to notice any issues with the appearance, please feel free to contact us. We also regularly hold free maintenance workshops at KOMAshop (announced on social media).

[Young People Series]

KOMA continues to encourage its young employees to "create their own artwork every month." The company purchases the artwork and adds it to their salary. We believe that selling the artwork is a sustainable way to develop human resources.

We aim to be a group of craftsmen where each individual has their own originality.
