Contour lines are lines connecting points of the same height on a map. To become a full-fledged "mountain girl," you need to know how to read these contour lines. However, it is quite difficult for a new "mountain girl" to distinguish between a "ridge" and a "valley," for example, from contour lines. Once you get used to it, it's nothing, but you don't get used to it right away.

Confluence is a small wooden tea table. It is made of carved birch plywood. Each layer of the plywood is a different color, so the carving creates a "contour line" pattern.


Even though it is just a pattern, the contour lines of this table are very basic. The lines do not intersect or split in the middle. Where the contour lines are closed in a circle is the summit or the bottom of the valley. The narrower the contour interval, the steeper the slope, and the wider the interval, the gentler the slope, which can be intuitively understood by touching the table.


By using this table, you may naturally learn the basics of how to read contour lines.


Practicality is also perfect. There are 6 places for tea utensils and 1 place for a teapot on the table.


It measures 60 x 36 x 40 cm and is priced at $1,700.
