KOZAI "WOOD" ART
We are importers of fossilized Teak and Quince wood species. This wood has survived for a milennia within the lakes and rivers located in the mountains of Indonesia and Northern Thailand. We transform this precious wood stock into furniture, architectural materials and interior design elements that draw an authentic taste of Asia into your space.
We have access to the largest collection of precious, fossilized woods stored in Japan, which includes a wide variety from around the world. This enables us to create works with unlimited possibilities to satisfy our client's needs. The Japanese term for these woods is "ki no houseki," which translates to "the precious stone of woods:" all of these wood objects are exceedingly rare and difficult to attain. With this wood we design and construct one of a kind furniture that contains profound organic sense and natural warmth.
