Small curiosities

Hako boxes

Ash-olive tree Dimensions: 20 x 10 x 17.5 or 15 x 15 x 17.5 cm (L x W x H)

Set of three stackable ash boxes with bases decorated with handmade Japanese or Nepalese paper. Crafted to preserve the continuity of the wood grain, giving the set a monolithic appearance. Oiled finish.

Kumiko frames

Linden and other wood types (ash/pine/beech) for the frame Dimensions: 29 x 29 x 2 cm (L x W x Thickness)

Wall decoration frames consisting of a kumiko panel, a painted or unfinished wooden frame, and a background decorated with Japanese or Nepalese paper. Kumiko, made here from lime wood, is an ancient Japanese carpentry technique that allows wooden pieces to be assembled without nails or glue. We offer two designs: Inaretsu (interlaced) and Asa-No-Ha (hemp leaf). In the latter, each piece of wood is carved by hand with a wood chisel.

Germaine chopping blocks

Ash-olive wood Approximate dimensions: 50 x 40 x 4 cm (L x W x Thickness)

Butcher blocks are cutting boards made from “end grain” wood. In other words, the surface is perpendicular to the wood grain, making it much more resistant to repeated blows from knife blades or other choppers.

The olive ash is not a specific tree species, but rather an ash tree that has been affected by climatic events or disease, resulting in a heartwood with alternating light and dark veins, the latter resembling the veins of an olive tree. These variations, which are particularly noticeable in the end grain, create unique contrasting patterns. Each piece will therefore be unique.

“21 Grams” wall shelf

Ash Dimensions: 120 x 40 x 7 cm (H x W x D)

To turn your most beautiful books into decorative objects. Or simply to store them away.
The name of this shelf is obviously not derived from its weight but rather from the impression of lightness conveyed by its lines. The elastic band that runs across the shelf to hold the books in place is available in several colors, plain or striped, and is made in France. The joints are reinforced with walnut dowels. Made of ash with a matte oiled finish.
