Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

We designed a "nurturing" stool that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
By reinforcing the wooden material, the unfinished stool grows strong enough to support a person.
This stool allows you to learn and experience the ancient Japanese wood construction technique of gathering many small, weak pieces of wood to make a strong structure. You can freely decide the number of pieces to add, their location, and the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal angles. Each chair will have a completely different look depending on who makes it, making it a one-of-a-kind chair. Try making your own special stool.
