Upgrade Your Everyday Life with a New Stool from Hayama Woodworks
Hello! This is Peli from Hayama Woodworks Studio (Hayasta).
Nestled in the serene town of Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Hayama Woodworks Studio is where furniture craftsman Ohara and I create one-of-a-kind wooden furniture pieces that embrace the beauty of natural materials.
Our philosophy? “Preserve the natural beauty of wood and craft furniture that complements your lifestyle.”
Today, we are thrilled to introduce our latest creation, the “Natural Edge Stool.”
Combining lightweight design with incredible versatility, this stool will add convenience and a touch of luxury to your everyday life.
Preserve Nature’s Beauty—The Charm of the Live Edge Design
The defining feature of this stool is its live edge design, which retains the natural form of the wood.
The edges, left in their natural state after the bark has been removed, give each stool a unique, one-of-a-kind character.
Finished with a natural oil treatment, the grain and warmth of the wood stand out beautifully.
The natural look ensures it blends seamlessly into any space while serving as a striking accent piece.
Ohara’s Craftsmanship
Sensei, why did you choose to incorporate a live edge design into this stool?
Furniture that embraces the natural shape of the wood has a presence of its own.
The live edge design minimizes waste and enhances the unique character of the wood itself.
It’s so captivating! No matter the angle, it’s stunning.

The Story Behind the Materials
Seat: Katsura (Japanese Cucumber Tree)
Katsura wood is known for its smooth texture and fine, uniform grain, often used in traditional crafts like Kamakura carving. Its soft, calming aesthetic makes it a perfect choice for this stool.
Ohara shares his connection to this remarkable material:
“Back in 2000, I found 60-year-old katsura logs at a timber market in Hinode Town, Tokyo. I was drawn to its beautiful grain and ease of handling, making it ideal for crafting stools like this.”
Live Edge Craftsmanship
“Leaving the wood’s natural form intact creates a bold yet harmonious presence. It’s a design that highlights the inherent beauty of the material.”
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship—Handmade with Precision
Each Natural Edge Stool is meticulously handcrafted by Ohara, who has over 40 years of experience in furniture making.
Using only hand planes (kanna) for the finishing process, he achieves a smoothness that machines simply cannot replicate.
The legs are joined to the seat with through-tenon construction and secured with decorative wedges, ensuring durability and adding a touch of elegance.
Ohara says:
“Simple designs demand the highest craftsmanship. By honoring the wood’s natural character, I’ve created a stool that’s lightweight, practical, and timeless.”
