Nao Cabinet

$5,682.00

Made of hinoki wood and washi from Saga, the Nao Cabinet is made in collaboration with Nao Washi, a washi mill that has been operating for over 300 years in the mountains of Nao. Washi is a durable material that can last for centuries and has been used in Japanese daily life since ancient times. Keiji Ashizawa wanted to express a new form of traditional Japanese shoji screen through the design of this cabinet. Delicate details, such as the recessed handle and edge hinges, elevate its minimalist design. When one opens its doors, the natural fragrance of hinoki wood can be enjoyed.
