Following on from KOTOKA, “Tampare” is the second series of furniture to be made from hinoki cypress by Eto. This living room set is made from a plentiful amount of hinoki cypress, a wood considered by Japanese people to be a luxury material since antiquity. The paints used on the furniture are environmentally friendly water-based paints that contain no F☆☆☆☆, toluene, xylene or lead, and are odorless, making them good for both the environment and people. The coating soaks into the wood, meaning that it doesn’t impede the natural breathing of the wood, the hinoki’s wonderful aroma can be appreciated, and the wood’s characteristic antibacterial and anti-pest effects remain. You can also enjoy the natural feel of the hinoki grain. The pleasant scent of hinoki cypress produces a relaxing environment in the living room, where the whole family gathers.
