The founder of Kimura Woodcraft Factory had developed “the apple ladder” for apple cultivation utilising hiba fittings in Aomori. Now his great-grandchild, who followed in his footsteps, has been using his own apple tree products. The concept lies in homage to the apple ladder and apple cultivation with a seat that resembles the same rounded shape of the fruit, making it a very comfortable piece of furniture. The stool comes in two dimensions, 60 cm and 43 cm.
