This table is built with a heavy round glass tabletop and a wooden support made from oil-coated oak. Shigeki Yamamoto uses his signature style of working with wooden plug connections which give him a great amount of creative freedom. He says the great challenge with this piece was finding a way to distribute the load on as many plugs as needed to get a stable structure over a relatively small surface.

If this room divider creates a colourful and positive atmosphere in a room or simply puts a smile on somebody’s face, then it has served its purpose. The three cacti are made from beech pieces connected with wooden pins. They are painted with chalk and polyurethane varnish in different colours, ranging from light green to dark brown and pink.

For the Play Anima series Shigeki Yamamoto decided to build every object out of leftover pieces from his previous furniture. Here, the oak and beech pieces are painted with green linseed oil paint. Each piece carries the spirit and memory of a previous project.

This cabinet made from chalk coated oak and glass was made using Shigeki Yamamoto’s signature technique of different wooden beams, connected through wooden plugs. This creates complex structures.

This is a sideboard made from oil coated oak and glass. It is constructed with wooden beams, connected through wooden plugs made from the same oak wood. "This piece reminds people of their childhood construction kits," says Shigeki Yamamoto.
