Crafted entirely from sustainably harvested Japanese cypress (Hinoki), one of the world’s most revered softwoods for its natural durability, aromatic essence, and elegant grain.

Unlike generic “wood” chairs, this piece celebrates true Hinoki: solid, kiln-dried planks with visible growth rings and a rich, honey-toned finish that deepens beautifully over time.

The frame, seat, and back are all precision-milled from a single species—no veneers, no laminates—ensuring structural integrity and authentic character.

Reinforced with matte-black steel hinges and rivets (for contrast and strength), the chair features a clever snap-lock folding mechanism: simply press the side lever to collapse it flat in seconds, then secure with the integrated cross-brace for compact storage (folded depth: 8.5 cm).

With dimensions of 44 cm W × 39.5 cm D × 74.5 cm H (17.3" W × 15.6" D × 29.3" H) and a comfortable 40 cm seat height, it offers ergonomic support without sacrificing portability.

The slightly curved backrest and gently contoured seat provide natural lumbar alignment, while the non-slip rubberized feet protect hardwood, tile, and concrete. Finished with food-safe, water-based oil (zero VOCs), the Timber Snap Chair is safe for homes with children and pets
