Vintage Japanese Wooden Folding Desk — 1980s, Showa Era
Where Elegance Meets Ingenuity: A Desk Designed for Space and Serenity

This beautifully crafted vintage Japanese folding desk from the Showa era (1980s) reflects the understated brilliance of Japanese design—where function, form, and tradition harmonize. Constructed from richly grained wood—likely Keyaki (zelkova) or finished to mimic its luxurious patterns—it features a fold-out tabletop and integrated storage drawers, making it as versatile as it is beautiful.

With clean lines and a low profile perfect for tatami or floor seating, this piece can be folded and stored compactly when not in use. A charming cutout detail on the side panel adds an artistic flourish, while the trio of drawers with classic iron handles provide ample storage for writing instruments, stationery, or treasured keepsakes.

Whether used as a writing desk, tea ceremony table, or elegant work-from-home solution, this folding desk blends Showa-era utility with timeless sophistication.
