Deru is a Japanese term which means a wooden 'pillar', but it is now often used to refer to wooden furniture in general. Deru items usually have a natural wood finish, showing off the beautiful grain of the wood. It has become a popular choice for interior design, as it is both visually appealing and long-lasting. Deru pieces can range from simple, rustic-looking tables and chairs, to intricate and ornate designs such as decorative cabinets and shelves. Traditional deru pieces are often hand-crafted from one solid piece of wood, providing strength and durability.
