Introducing 'HIROSHIMA natural': A New Approach Embracing Nature
Embracing Nature with 'HIROSHIMA natural'
Since its launch in 2008, the HIROSHIMA armchair has captured the hearts of many through its meticulous craftsmanship that considers even the direction of the wood grain and texture. Now, this commitment to quality has culminated in a new initiative: 'HIROSHIMA natural'. This concept is a testimony to our dedication to working closely with materials and showcases a deep respect for the beauty of natural wood.
What sets 'HIROSHIMA natural' apart is our careful selection of high-quality solid woods by material experts. During the crafting process, the unique characteristics of the wood, such as knots, streaks, and color variations, inevitably manifest. Instead of masking these natural marks, 'HIROSHIMA natural' chooses to embrace them, celebrating the inherent beauty and individuality of each piece. Finished with a soap process, this armchair exhibits a soft touch reminiscent of natural wood, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Produced with distinctive materials gathered during each production batch, 'HIROSHIMA natural' is a limited edition that emphasizes the uniqueness of every piece—no two chairs will be exactly alike. At Maruni Woodworking, we are committed to creating beautiful products that enrich daily life by embracing the essence of wood.
In the words of designer Naoto Fukasawa, this philosophy translates into an honesty towards materials: "Being true to nature means not overwhelming the natural characteristics of materials with unnecessary additions. Each solid wood is different, with its own unique grain and knots. Embracing these differences reaffirms our respect for nature. The soap finish expresses the material's essence simply and sincerely—an honest approach to finishing."
