JOINERY AS FORM — DOVETAIL STOOL / 4-LEG / CEDAR

The Dovetail Stool is designed by Staffan Holm for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. Its name references the dovetail joint — one of the oldest and most revered techniques in woodworking, celebrated for its mechanical strength and the precision required to execute it. On the Dovetail Stool, this joint is not hidden but celebrated, becoming the defining visual element of the design. The Cedar version brings a richer, redder warmth to the form — cedar is a timber with deep associations in both Japanese and global craft traditions, valued for its natural oils, durability, and a gentle, distinctive fragrance.
