Bathroom

La salle de bain mérite mieux que du plastique. Un savon doux qu'on suspend, une brosse en fibres naturelles, un objet en bois d'hinoki qui parfume la pièce à la moindre goutte d'eau, de petits gestes de soin qui transforment la toilette en moment à soi. Des matières vraies, souvent venues d'un savoir-faire japonais, faites pour durer dans l'humidité.

The wood that loves water

Hinoki, Japanese cypress, is the wood of baths in Japan. Naturally resistant to humidity and rotproof, it releases a woody and soothing scent as soon as it meets hot water. Stool, soap holder, accessories, it brings a warmth to the bathroom that plastic will never have. See the bathroom furniture.

Care and natural materials

Vegetable fiber brushes, tawashi, gently scrub the body or dishes, in an ancient Japanese domestic tradition. Soaps, sometimes shaped like lucky fish, hang to dry and last. Simple, beautiful, and useful objects. See the body care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why hinoki in the bathroom?

Because it is made for that. Japanese cypress naturally resists humidity and does not rot, making it an ideal wood near water. It also releases a soothing woody scent when it comes into contact with steam, a fragrance the Japanese have always associated with bathing and relaxation.

How to care for a wooden object in a humid room?

The secret is to let it dry between uses rather than soaking it. You rinse it, leave it in the air, and the wood, especially hinoki, handles this alternation very well. Avoid harsh soaps directly on it. Well aired, it lasts for years without blackening.

What is a tawashi brush?

It is a traditional Japanese brush made of natural fibers, found in every Japanese household. Depending on the model, it gently cleans the body or scrubs dishes and vegetables. Durable and compostable at the end of its life, it is a natural alternative to synthetic sponges and brushes.

Are these objects nice gifts?

A beautiful soap, a fiber brush, or a hinoki object make up a delicate care gift, which can be gathered in a small box. It’s a thoughtful gesture around well-being that touches the heart because it speaks of taking care of oneself with beautiful materials rather than just anything.
