Yaketa’ was influenced by hinoki bathhouse stools found throughout the onsens and ryokans of Japan. The piece features a charred Blackbutt timber top, natural Blackbutt timber frame and a lower black danish cord woven shelf. ​The shou sugi ban charring of the top creates a textured, hard-wearing finish which is visually lightened with a subtle taper to the underside. A trio of butterfly keys connect across the split top and through-dowel joints complete the contemporary detailing of the design. ​
