SAI 采

Premium Japanese cedar wood

What is Yakisugi SAI ?

The SAI collection takes the foundation of our SUMI a step further, using the same meticulously charred Japanese cedar wood. After the traditional Yakisugi technique and brushing, each piece undergoes a hard brushing process that brings out the intricate grain and veins of the wood, highlighting its natural texture and character in stunning detail. This treatment not only enhances the wood’s visual depth but also gives it a striking, tactile quality that makes it a standout choice for exceptional design projects
