IBAZEN accountably conducts all the processes of making furniture, from designing to finishing. They use solid wood and URUSHI lacquer which will develop into patina over the course of many years, wishing that one can enjoy spending a long time with it.

For the materials, they try to source broad-leaf trees such as Japanese Oak and SAKURA (Cherry) native to Hokkaido or Japan as much as possible.

They produce their furniture using traditional timberwork techniques. Finishing is done all by hands using hand-held planes.

All-natural URUSHI lacquer is used to make the coating beautiful, durable, and functional. 

Each item is a unique display of craftsmanship.
