Child’s bath stool

Cedar wood, untreated

20cm H
30cm W
15cm D


Traditionally, wooden stools are used in Japan to wash oneself, whilst seated, before taking a bath.

This culturally iconic Japanese stool has been re-designed with only tight-fitting wood-to-wood joints; no glue or metal hardware as a challenge to achieve the purest form and most utilisation of timber properties. The horizontal bar under each seat is not jointed to the seat but is held in place by the legs and in turn acts as an extended angled mortise for the legs by being ‘housed’ (a term used to partially insert a beam inside a column). Opposing, angled tenons into the seat keep it from being able to be lifted off. Special care is taken to use the timber in the direction that it grew (where possible) and considering the way it will begin to distort or ‘cup’ over time.
