Named after the Japanese word for “sky,” Sora embraces simplicity and calm. Its shape invites use without demanding attention, balancing a minimalist silhouette with tactile warmth. Handmade with precise joinery in Kyoto, the stool’s proportions make it suitable as occasional seating or a small surface.

Production Philosophy

We produce in small editions — rarely more than 50 to 150 pieces at a time. This keeps the work close to the craftsmen, and allows each batch to be adjusted if the material or process demands it. The studio does not work to seasonal deadlines. New objects are released only when they feel resolved. Some pieces return after years; others exist only once. By keeping production limited, we avoid waste and can hold to the highest level of detail. Every piece is handled, checked, and assembled in the studio before it leaves.

From the Founder — Renji Aalto

“An object is ready when it no longer asks for changes. Sometimes that happens in weeks. Sometimes it takes years.”
