KAKOTO Forged Iron Wall Stand / h69cm

A wall-mounted flower stand. Its simple design enhances plain walls with a refined touch. The stand can hold a flower vessel ( *porcelain vessel is included) or a candlestick, making it a versatile decorative piece.

Kaji Kobo Hiromitsu is a workshop that has carried on the tradition of Japanese forging for eleven generations since its origins in tatara ironworking during the Edo period. Committed to forging with tamahagane and traditional Japanese iron, the artisans uphold time-honored techniques, avoiding machine processing and instead finishing each piece using the traditional kashime-dome (riveting) method. The result is work that possesses both weight and delicacy, refined through generations of craftsmanship.

For this collection, the artisans have revisited unfinished works from over a decade ago, as well as pieces that had been left in the workshop, breathing new life into them for Analogue Life. Without any applied coatings, these works celebrate the raw beauty of iron and the way it transforms over time, developing a richer character with age.
