Within the Merci Magazine x Takasu Gaku Design and Associates & Hikimonojo 639 collection, the Mon Stool in Black represents the most architectural and visually striking expression of the series. While the natural wood versions celebrate light, the Black Collection, expertly crafted from solid White Ash, pays tribute to shadow and silhouette.
In this edition, the "gate" (mon) structure is transformed into a bold, calligraphic statement. Utilizing White Ash, renowned for its deep and pronounced grain, the black finish enhances rather than conceals the material, lending dramatic depth. The result is a piece reminiscent of a charcoal sketch realized in three-dimensional form, serving as an ideal anchor for the curated 2026 interior.
The technical execution of the Black Collection requires exceptional precision. The transformation from raw timber to a refined noir object is accomplished through a specialized process.
Substrate: Premium White Ash, selected for its structural integrity and the unique way its open-pore grain absorbs pigment, allowing the natural character of the wood to remain visible beneath the surface.
Finish: A high-grade urethane paint provides a durable, matte-to-satin coating that withstands daily use while offering a velvety tactile experience.
Architectural Presence: The black finish accentuates the rhythmic, lathe-turned curves achieved through the hikimono process, transforming the stool into a functional sculpture that commands attention in minimalist galleries or private residences.
This stool is ideal for collectors drawn to the "Dark Academia" or "Modern Noir" movements. the Black Mon Stool is an essential element for interiors defined by high contrast and intellectual depth. It pays homage to the monochromatic elegance of Japanese design, reimagined for a global 2026 audience.
Dimensions:
High Stool: W474 x D332 x H797mm (SH780mm, or 780mm seat height).
