Lovingly crafted from exceptional woods rescued from destruction, by the grandson of a Japanese-American master craftsman, each of these occasional tables speaks to you. Satoru Amagasus furniture creations blend a prized family history in woodworking with a passion for the environment. What makes Rus Tensei occasional tables so unique is that his exceptional woods come from trees slated to be destroyed. Because of storms, disease, proximity to homes, or simply old age, these trees came down. Instead of becoming firewood or ground into mulch, they are crafted into exquisite furniture, giving these trees, in his grandfathers words, a second life. Ru says, We oversee the entire process from the tree being taken down, milling them into slabs, drying them, and then designing and manufacturing furniture so that they can live again.
