Antique Japanese Zataku Folding Round Table — 1920s, Taishō Era (SKU 25M-471)
Where time folds quietly into form and function
Crafted in the 1920s during Japan’s elegant Taishō era, this antique zataku (座卓) folding table captures the spirit of communal living and understated beauty. With its low, circular form and warm reddish patina, it was once the centerpiece of tatami-matted rooms—gathering friends and family for shared meals, steaming tea, or thoughtful conversation. Though simple in shape, its presence is grounding—an invitation to sit close to the floor, to be present, and to connect.
Constructed from solid hinoki cypress, known for its lightness and durability, this table’s gentle grain and handcrafted lines speak to the artistry of its maker. Originally designed for easy storage, the legs would have folded neatly beneath, making it both elegant and practical in small Japanese homes. Today, it serves beautifully as a coffee table, tea table, or centerpiece for a minimalist interior—radiating warmth and wabi-sabi charm with every curve and corner.
