Tendo Mokko “Zataku” Japanese Modern Low Coffee Table 1970s

An original Tendo Mokko Japanese low table, representing one of the most refined expressions of post-war Japanese modern design.

Crafted using Tendo’s renowned molded plywood technology, the tabletop and legs form a continuous, flowing structure. The softly bent, downward-curving legs create a sculptural silhouette while maintaining exceptional structural strength and lightness.

Based on its proportions and construction, this model belongs to Tendo’s classic “Zataku” (traditional Japanese low table) family, frequently attributed on the international market to designer Saburo Inui. The original manufacturer’s label is preserved underneath the tabletop, confirming authenticity.

Finished in warm-toned veneer with durable urethane lacquer, offering both natural tactility and everyday resilience.

A timeless piece that works beautifully in:
– Japanese minimal
– mid-century modern
– wabi-sabi
– contemporary curated interiors

Not merely a table, but a collectible Japanese modern design object.
