Besides that I love how these stools look I’m amazed by the technique that’s being used to make them. Bunaco originated in Japan in 1956 and uses a technique that’s widely used in Japan to make bowls and baskets made out of beech wood.
The process involves paper thin sheets of virgin beech (‘buna’) wood, that are cut into thin strips and then tightly coiled around a base. These flat pieces are then formed and bend into shapes that are otherwise hard to achieve with wood. This whole process needs to be performed by a specifically trained craftsperson. But most of all it’s environmentally friendly since it reduces the amount of waste. I love the modern shapes with the soft finish that adds warmth to it. Other products include tableware, lamps and interior goods.
