Tochi Kodama began with a slab rarely encountered even in Japan — a pale, luminous Japanese horse chestnut selected for its clarity, balance, and absence of visual noise. Tochi of this quality requires decades of slow growth and precise harvesting, making slabs of this scale and refinement increasingly rare.

The surface was resolved with restraint. A matte, water-based finish was chosen to protect the wood without altering its colour or brightness, preserving the pale tone that defines this piece. Every stage of craftsmanship was guided by one principle: intervention should never exceed necessity.

Tochi Kodama resolves as a table of quiet authority — not defined by mass or ornament, but by rarity, balance, and permanence. A piece created to endure across generations.

Tochi Collection tables have an estimated lead time of up to 70 days.

Upon delivery (UK only), our professional installation team will carefully position both table and base exactly as intended, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned.

We take care of every detail — so you don’t have to lift a finger.

All that remains is to admire the craftsmanship and welcome your new piece into your home.

We source our timber from trusted sawmills around the world, working only with partners who share our commitment to sustainability and responsible woodland management. The trees we use are never cut down purely for production — our wood comes from trees that have reached the natural end of their life cycle or have been carefully recovered from managed forests.

Each slab is firstly air dried for a minimum of 2-5 years and then kiln dried to 8-12% moisture content, which ensures its strength and stability. Every piece we craft celebrates the beauty of wood while caring for the forests it came from.

Your table is protected with a premium wax oil finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty while allowing it to breathe. With simple care, it will age beautifully for years to come.
