How would you feel sleeping in the forest? The “in the forest” was created while imaging that
feeling.
We use trees of 50 to 100 years old to make pieces of furniture. The gift from trees allows us to
create our products. Our lives depend on the benefits we receive from the nature. Vegetables we
eat every day and beautiful flowers placed by the window all are from the nature. We live thanks to
other lives on earth. We use various types of trees from various areas. Some are of broad-leaved
trees from natural forests in Japan and others are needle-leaved trees from planned afforestation.
We cannot imagine how the original tree was standing in the forest when we look at a finished piece
of furniture. All pieces of furniture, wooden houses, utensils and other wooden items we use daily
are built with trees that once used to live in forests. We cannot turn away from the fact that we are
receiving gifts from lives that required enormous amount of time to grow. We can maintain our
lives by receiving gifts from other precious lives. However, forests and trees are decreasing now
due to natural disasters, illegal cutting and trading of trees, which is causing global warming and
significantly affecting the global environment. We seriously need to ask ourselves how to deal with
trees, forests, nature and this earth for our future. Humans need nature to live. Also, it is a fact that
we are part of lives on this earth. The relationship we have with trees has been deeply connected
since the beginning of human history. How to maintain this relationship is our eternal topic that we
cannot ignore or abandon.
Japanese lived as mountain dwellers in the past. Even when rice cultivation was introduced from
China during the Jomon period, people in Hokushinetsu regions persistently lived in the mountains.
They ate nuts that were gifts from mountains, cut only necessary amounts of trees to make longlasting
tools, and made fire to manage their lives. Although Japan is surrounded by ocean, 70% of
the land is covered by forest even today. As a furniture manufacturer, we have a heavy responsibility
in using these precious trees that grow in the nature. It is an important issue that cannot be
determined by human-centered design or commercialism since it affects the future of the earth.
We created a bed using such precious trees of this earth. People used to sleep in trees of forests in
the ancient times. While keeping in mind the theme of sleeping in the forest, we created a bed using
the texture of solid wood to provide a soft appearance you may feel from the woodgrain. It is our
desire to carefully use wood to help people having pleasant sleep while appreciating the gifts we
receive from trees.
