[Young Works] BOOK END No. 1 Endo Hayato

These bookends were carved from a block made by joining together random boards.

We left the edges in a straight line to show off the wood grain, which overlaps like geological layers.

SIZE W 200 D 110 H 100
MATERIAL Cherry

DESIGN&CRAFTED BY Shun Endo

[Precautions for use]
・This product has an oil and wax finish. Washing it with water will damage the feel and may cause stains, deformation, or cracks.
- Placing the product in direct sunlight, in a location exposed to air conditioning, or near a fire may cause it to warp, crack, or stain.

[About maintenance]
- If dirt or dust adheres to the product, wipe it off quickly with a dry cloth or a tightly wrung-out cloth.
- If used for a long time, the surface may dry out and lose its luster.
If you apply wax to it about once every six months, just like you would to any other piece of furniture, the wood's texture will improve with use, and you can enjoy the changes that occur over time.

*Wax can be purchased from our online shop or in-store, but please read the precautions carefully before use. Always soak cloths, sponges, etc. that have wax on them thoroughly in water before disposing of them (if left as is, there is a risk of spontaneous combustion).

- Small scratches, dents, ring marks, etc. may be able to be restored using sandpaper or an iron.

KOMA continues to encourage its young employees to "create their own artwork every month." The company purchases the artwork and adds it to their salary. We believe that selling the artwork is a sustainable way to develop human resources.
We aim to be a group of craftsmen where each individual has their own originality.
