A rectilinear, nesting form crafted from straight-grain Hinoki - designed for balance, versatility, and a tranquil presence within the home.
Crafted from premium Hinoki wood, Mon conveys a sense of calm balance and quiet structure through its geometric silhouette. Its moisture-resistant nature and gentle fragrance make it ideal for the bath, while the wood’s subtle warmth allows it to blend gracefully into other living spaces. Two sizes nest neatly together, offering compact storage and understated functionality suited to a range of spaces.
Each stool is made entirely from masame (straight-grain) Hinoki, the most refined cut of the wood. The natural straight grain enhances both visual harmony and structural stability, revealing a gentle rhythm that accentuates the stool’s clean, architectural lines.
Sourced from the sacred forests of the Kii Mountains, Hinoki is cherished for its smooth texture, warm tone, and natural fragrance. Prized in Japan for centuries, this wood offers remarkable resistance to moisture and decay. Left uncoated to preserve its pure scent and luster, Hinoki lends a serene clarity to everyday rituals of bathing and renewal.

Care
Hinoki wood products are left uncoated to highlight their natural beauty, unique grain, and distinct fragrance. Regular care is essential to prevent mold and stains, especially when used in humid areas. With proper maintenance, you can enjoy the lasting charm of your Hinoki products for years.
• When washing, rinse with lukewarm water using a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads as they may cause fine scratches.
• If using detergent, choose a mild or neutral one. Harsh detergents can cause black stains and discoloration.
• After washing, wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth and allow the Hinoki to air dry in a well-ventilated, low-humidity area.
• Avoid exposing Hinoki to high temperatures or direct sunlight as this can cause cracking and warping.
• For tough stains, gently sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper.
• Hinoki's resin may surface, resulting in stickiness. If bothersome, clean with a neutral detergent or rubbing alcohol.
Important Note:
Please do not use it for purposes other than a bath stool (e.g., as a step stool or stand).
