The selection of White Ash pays homage to the "Warm Minimalism" movement shaping interior design in 2026. Renowned for its exceptional strength and elasticity, the White Ash in the Mon Stool showcases a pale, creamy hue and a distinctive, flowing grain. Under the expertise of Hikimonojo 639 craftsmen, the lathe-turned components achieve a porcelain-like smoothness that reflects light elegantly, brightening the lower third of any space.
While the silhouette remains grounded in Gaku Takasu’s architectural "mon" (gate) concept, it is in the finishing process that technology serves tradition.
Material: Sustainably sourced White Ash, valued for its durability and refined aesthetic that bridges Nordic and Japanese influences.
Finish: A sophisticated glass coating is meticulously applied to the wood. This invisible shield protects the porous ash from moisture and wear, preserving the timber’s natural tactile quality without imparting the plastic sensation of traditional lacquer.
Proportions: In low, mid, or high configurations, the natural finish accentuates the stool’s "primitive beauty," making it an adaptable essential for both the modern atelier and the minimalist home.
For Merci Magazine readers, the White Ash Mon Stool epitomizes "Quiet Luxury." Rather than seeking attention, it invites a second glance through its exquisite craftsmanship. This piece embodies a dialogue between the Shizuoka workshop and the global collector, representing Japanese artistry designed for an international lifestyle.
Dimensions:
High Stool: W474 x D332 x H797mm (SH780mm, or 780mm seat height).
