Voices of the Craftsman: The Story Behind the Design
Master, why did you decide on this forward-tilted seat design for the stool?
I was inspired by the low three-legged stools used by dairy farmers in Europe. The forward-tilted seat was so refreshing, and I thought applying it to a high stool would make it even better for playing the guitar or taking short breaks during work. It’s incredibly comfortable and practical.
That makes sense! The forward tilt really gives it an edge in stability, even with just three legs.
Exactly. As for the seat shape, I experimented with circles and triangles before settling on this design. It’s like a crescent moon, slightly trimmed—it turned out to be the most comfortable shape.
The Story Behind the Materials
Walnut: A Touch of Nature and Nostalgia
Ohara shares:
“Walnut holds a special place in my heart. Back when I lived in an old farmhouse in Nagano, there was a walnut tree in the yard. I used to gather the fallen nuts, bury them in the soil to remove the soft outer shell, and crack the hard shell to enjoy the kernels inside.
I also learned how walnut seeds drift downstream, taking root in riverbanks and sprouting new life. That resilience is part of what inspired me to use walnut in my work. As a material, walnut is easy to work with, and its gentle grain complements any design beautifully.
Though it’s hard to source high-quality walnut these days, I decided to use some of my carefully preserved stock for this stool. It’s a rare and precious material that adds to the uniqueness of the piece.”
Wild Cherry: Strength and Elegance
“Wild cherry is perfect for the legs of this stool because of its hardness and resilience. When planed, it develops a gorgeous luster, and over time, its color harmonizes beautifully with walnut. It’s a joy to work with, and its durability ensures this stool will stand the test of time.”
