The Machiya Exterior Stool is an outdoor stool created by Japanese designer Jin Kuramoto. Machiya is the name of traditional wooden townhouses found throughout Japan which are built side-by-side, making them space efficiently, and with characteristic wooden lattices on the facade. Through beautiful lines and a smart storage shelf these features are implemented in the Machiya Exterior stool.
Our Machiya Exterior stool is handcrafted in Alu-Rattan and ArtFibre, and therefore has a unique strength and durability. Alu-Rattan is weather-resistant powder-coated aluminum and ArtFibre is artificial fibers made from polyethylene. Due to the weather-resistant materials the stool can stand outside all year round, without affecting the design or durability. The Machiya Exterior stool is also available in an indoor version made of rattan, see it here.
The Machiya Exterior stool requires no maintenance and is easy to clean.
