It's made from thinnings of hinoki cypress - a slow growing tree predominantly found in Japan - that would otherwise be thrown away.

The information that follows is from SPEAC:


Double wishes

The name of this table is For Rest Table. This name has double meanings.

The first is “For rest”. The second is the wish for revival of sustainable environment of a forest.

We know that healthy circulation of forest thinning waste is indispensable to revive and sustain Japanese forest.

This table is one of the effective utilization of sustainable wood.

Sectional table with good texture

This table is sectional and consists of one plate and 8 poles. We can put together very easily without special tools.

All parts are made of Japanese cypress “Hinoki”. And we can enjoy very good texture and fragrance of wood.

Reasonable shipping cost

These parts of the table can be packed compactly. We can ship saving cost and energy.
