Revolutionizing Lacquerware with Sinafu Stand

Kenichiro Oomori, the mastermind behind the innovative Sinafu Stand, drew inspiration from the serving methods in Japanese cuisine to create a stunning and practical solution for presenting food elegantly. Crafted in Yamanaka Prefecture, the Sinafu Stand showcases the finest Yamanaka lacquerware craftsmanship, featuring raised bowls that appear to float on delicate wooden stems.

Utilizing traditional woodworking techniques unique to Yamanaka, the Sinafu Stand is a testament to the exceptional skills of the local wood-turners. The design, realized through woodturning and wiping lacquer, exudes both ergonomic functionality and aesthetic delight, offering a seamless blend of tradition and modernity.

Available in various sizes, the Sinafu Stand is a testament to Oomori's dedication to preserving traditional craftsmanship while infusing it with contemporary relevance. The project, which commenced in July 2017 and concluded in February 2018, has since garnered acclaim, earning the Bronze A' Design Award in 2022.

The Sinafu series, which includes Sinafu Stand, Sinafu, and Sinafu Deco, embodies the essence of Japanese hospitality and represents a significant leap in the evolution of lacquerware. Oomori's commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness is evident in the utilization of Japanese wood, offering a glimpse into the future of global material cycles.
