Small hiba wood special bath chair

This small bath stool is made from Hiba wood, which is highly valued in Japan for its natural antimicrobial properties and pleasant fragrance. The compact size makes it an excellent choice for smaller shower stalls or bathrooms where space is limited. Its sturdy build ensures it can support weight securely despite its smaller footprint.

The wood is left in a natural state to allow the unique scent of the Hiba tree to fill the room during a hot shower. The joinery is designed to withstand constant exposure to water and steam without warping. This stool provides a low-profile seating option that is traditional in Japanese bathing culture, focusing on utility and longevity.

Using a wooden stool like this one offers a warmer tactile experience compared to cold plastic or metal alternatives. It is easy to move around and can be tucked away when not in use. The natural oils in the Hiba wood help protect the surface from mold, making it a practical addition to any wet room or shower area.
