The Joinery Stool by POJ Studio x Norm Architects presents the pinnacle of clean and minimal design, a blend of Japanese and Danish aesthetics.

The stools are made of dense hinoki, and showcase the story of the wood through the rings, which remain clean and visible as part of the stool’s inherent design quality.

They are built exclusively with Japan’s no-nails joinery method. Every part is structurally sound thanks to precisely interlocking joints.

This project aims to contribute to Japan’s sustainable foresting practice by rebalancing ecosystems and bringing more work to Japanese carpenters skilled in joinery techniques.

This collaboration is born of shared values: both POJ Studio and Norm Architects place people, craft, and quality at the center of everything we do.

By bringing this stool into your home, you enter into our ecosystem of design, sustainability, and cultural preservation that we are eager to share with the rest of the world.

Care

Everyday Use

This product is for indoor use only: use outdoors may cause deterioration or damage
Place on a flat, level surface
If the stool wobbles, discontinue use until the issue is resolved
Do not stand on the stool or use it as a step
Avoid strong impacts such as dropping or knocking the stool

Placement

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause warping or fading
Do not place near direct airflow from air conditioning or heating units
Avoid environments that are excessively humid or dry
As a natural material, wood breathes continuously — its fibers will expand and contract depending on the surrounding environment

Care & Maintenance

For daily cleaning, wipe with a soft dry cloth
For visible stains, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water, wrung out thoroughly, and wipe the affected area. Gently clean the surrounding area as well, then finish with a dry cloth. Residual moisture can cause mold or staining — avoid sitting on the stool with bare or wet skin for the same reason.
Do not use alcohol or solvents
Do not pour water directly onto the stool
Do not leave the stool wet
