Glass Vitrine

Description

Curator’s Notes

This small-scale glass vitrine from Ibazen is an ideal unit to showcase much-loved trinkets and glassware at home. Made of rich cherry wood, the cabinet is constructed with wood joinery that keeps it light yet sturdy. While its narrow depth takes up minimal space on a counter or tabletop, its fuki-urushi lacquer highlights the beautiful grains so vividly that it can’t help but draw in our attention. The sliding glass door keeps items free from dust, allowing for an unobstructed view of the precious items held inside.
