Wavok stool in hand carved Japanese cedar wood for Hida

For centuries, famed Hida artisans in Gifu prefecture have played a role in Japan's woodworking culture, crafting iconic bentwood furniture from sustainable local forests. Established in 1920, Hida Sangyo builds upon the Japanese heritage of craftsmanship and sustainability from their headquarters in Gifu, which remains one of Japan's leading furniture production areas. In addition to offering iconic designs from midcentury masters like Sori Yanagi and Enzo Mari, Hida produces contemporary creations from international designers such as Atsuhiko Misawa and atelier oï.

An original design by Toshimitsu Sasaki to match today's lifestyle, the 'Wavok' stool is expertly crafted from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), a wood that represents Japan throughout the world. The cedar is strengthened by HIDA's perfection of a heat compression process and the stool is then hand shaped using a plane and sandpaper prior to being sealed.
