Brass Twist Lantern Stand by Shiroinu Kobo This is a twist lantern stand made by hand, using solid brass rods that are twisted one by one. The substantial lines created by the thick 4mm brass rods not only have a visual presence but also allow you to feel the weight of the material itself. The brass parts have been carefully polished to bring out an elegant luster. Furthermore, the finish allows the color to gradually change to a more subdued tone with use, and the process of deepening the expression over time is one of the charms of this work. The wooden base is treated with vintage wax and an oil finish to enhance the texture of the wood. It has a calm luster and a deep shadow, and by intentionally leaving scratches and unevenness, it has been finished with a quiet dignity like antique furniture. The contrast between the polished brass and the wood with its texture creates depth throughout. Most of the processes are done by hand. Because the strength and balance of the twist are checked one by one during finishing, no two have the same expression. We prioritize "completeness as a tool" and "a design that can be used for a long time" over the rationality of mass-produced products. This is not meant to be disposable, nor is it meant to be replaced. It is a lantern stand to be used and nurtured over time. Important Notes ・The product images are samples. ・Because everything is handmade, there are individual differences in the degree of twisting, color, grain, and texture. ・The intentional scratches and unevenness are part of the design and are not defects. ・This product is not suitable for those who are looking for uniform industrial products. Please understand this as a one-of-a-kind expression.
