Pole Pole - White Poodle Card Holder
"Pole Pole" means slowly, little by little, in Swahili. The Japanese manufacturer T-LAB is committed to conveying the warmth of wood and handmade craftsmanship while preserving forests. This wood allows for a smooth and soft finish and results in a very lightweight object. Once finely sanded, they are hand-painted, making each piece slightly different and truly unique! Only skilled and meticulous artisans can achieve an almost identical result of the same animal.
The original design, full of roundness and softness, makes these animals very endearing. The hardest part will be choosing...
WARNING: These animals are decorative objects. Not suitable for young children who might put them in their mouths.

Lucky charms, a slot for your cards
Engimon is a collection of wooden card holders by T-LAB, in Japan. Each piece features a traditional Japanese good luck charm: the Daruma, usually made of papier-mâché; Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain and highest point in the country at 3,776 meters; the Maneki neko, which beckons luck; or the Tai sea bream, a symbol of wealth and prosperity. A slot holds a business card or photo. The albizia wood is finely sanded and then hand-painted, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
T-LAB EXPERTISE
What makes an Engimon cardholder
The Engimon collection
Engimon brings together wooden card holders produced by the Japanese brand T-LAB. Each one features a lucky charm figure from everyday Japanese life.
One slot for a card
Depending on the model, a slot holds a card or a photo, which stands upright in it.
Sanded, then hand-painted
Each piece is finely sanded before being hand-painted. The wood retains a smooth and soft finish to the touch.
None is identical
The wood grain and the artisan's touch make each piece slightly different. No cardholder is exactly the same as another.
Golden versions
T-LAB presents Mount Fuji, the Maneki Neko and the Daruma in a golden edition, offered as a limited series for the beginning of the year.
A corner desk size
The Mount Fuji card holder measures approximately 7 x 5.5 cm with a height of 6 cm. It’s perfect for placing on a desk, shelf, or counter without taking up much space.
