Inspired by and named for the Japanese words that literally mean “tree sap,” the Jueki stools are carved from solid ash wood into organic seating solutions. The collection, designed in a collaboration between HBF and Jonathan Yoshida Rowell, features four legs that appear to pull away from the softly curved seat, without disturbance or force. The effect is highlighted in its underside, in the way the wood grain appears to flow downward. The leg ends round slightly as they meet the floor, like the final drippings of the sap itself. A steel support loop echoes the seat’s silhouette and provides an additional level of structural integrity. Jueki’s sculptural, lightweight body—available in three heights—works well in both formal and informal settings. Various finishes are available for the stools, as are custom match finishes upon request.
