QUIET UTILITY — RIKYU TV UNIT / OAK

The Rikyu TV Unit is designed by Gabriel Tan for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. Named after the 16th-century Japanese tea master Sen no Rikyu — a figure who elevated simplicity and restraint to an art form — the Rikyu TV Unit brings the same philosophy to media storage. It is a piece of considered, undemonstrative utility: a low-profile form that keeps technology discreet while asserting a quiet, refined presence in the room. The oak version brings natural warmth and grain to a design of exceptional quietude.

Stone and metal carved and shaped by expert hands give life to an aesthetic that has its roots in the contrast between form and matter.
