cherry bark pencil holder, BUCHI

Hybrid Deciduous Tree Bark Case

Japanese cherry bark and walnut veneer are assembled by dovetail joints to form a cylinder. Until now, joint designs have often been linear, but in this BUCHI series, more organic joint shapes, evoking natural movement, have been adopted. Additionally, dovetail joints in different materials create a beautiful contrast, resulting in a finish where the warmth of the wood is palpable. The interior of the pen holder is lined with felt, providing a gentle reception for pens, remote controls, glasses, and more.
