The object
A place for the lid
This Lid Rest by Chiju provides a small resting place for a teapot or gaiwan lid between infusions. Its shallow, gently uneven upper surface sits above a compact, faceted base.
The contrast between the curved top and the angular sides gives the piece a sculptural presence while keeping its purpose simple.
Cherry wood and lacquer
Made from cherry wood and finished with lacquer, the lid rest brings a dark, softly reflective surface to the tea table. The finish follows the carved form, highlighting its changing planes and subtle surface details.
