ESSENTIAL WOOD

There is something about wood that no other material quite replaces. The warmth of it, the grain, the texture. A well-made wooden object feels immediately comforting in your hands — and in your home.

Japan has long had an affinity with this. Its woodworking tradition stretches back centuries, with craftspeople having an extraordinary ability to honour the natural character of the material, while also pushing its possibilities forward. Today, traditional skills and instinctive design is seamlessly combined with the precision of modern craft.

Here, Japanese woods — hinoki (Japanese cypress), sugi (cedar) and kusu (camphor) sit alongside responsibly sourced hardwoods. All items crafted to be used, and designed to last.
