196 Hokkaido Elm This deciduous hardwood grows widely in Japan, Korea, China, Sakhalin, and Siberia, thriving in Hokkaido's environment. It can reach over 30m in height and exceed 1m in diameter. The wood features clear annual rings and a unique, subdued color palette. Starting in 2024, Hokkaido Elm has been used for furniture production, including the "WING LUX LD" chairs and tables. Its wide, soft grain adds a gentle touch to designs. Hokkaido Ash A deciduous broadleaf tree of the olive family, Fraxinus, Hokkaido Ash grows in northern Honshu, Hokkaido, Korea, China, Sakhalin, and Siberia. This ring-porous wood features distinct annual rings. The heartwood is brown, and the sapwood is pale yellow-white. Known for its straight trunk, easy workability, and durability, it has historically been used in construction and bridge materials. It’ s beautiful, uniform grain makes it ideal for furniture. Since 2015, Hokkaido Ash has been widely adopted for both existing and new products. Despite natural grain variations, its clean color and natural texture remain appealing, even with staining. Hokkaido Oak Species like Mizunara and Konara in the Fagaceae family are collectively called Hokkaido Oak when sourced from Hokkaido. This ring-porous hardwood has pronounced grain and a gray-brown heartwood with distinctive ray flecks. Its strength, durability, and water resistance make it suitable for furniture, whiskey barrels, and flooring. Since the 2014 launch of the "Furniture of Local Wood, Hokkaido Project," the shift from imported materials to Hokkaido Oak has been significant. Its unique, natural grain and reduced CO2 emissions due to less transportation further emphasize its value. Active use of local wood Furniture manufacturers in Hokkaido have expanded the usage of wood from Hokkaido. CondeHouse has been using locally grown trees on both original and new products. At this point over 80% of our furniture are made of Hokkaido trees. Please see the product page for more details. Kokonoki no Kagu Hokkaido Project Hokkaido Woods Overview
