Bookend PEN

This bookend is integrated with a pen stand. The slightly deeper pen stand can be used to store pens and pencils while hiding them from view, so they do not interfere with the interior design. You can quickly take out your stationery and store it with your books on a bookshelf, study desk, work desk, or in the living room when you want to use it. ●Material 　Body: Paulownia, Steel ●Size 　W66mm (+ leg 65mm) x d150mm x h125mm ●Handling This product has not been treated to be water resistant, so it is not suitable for cleaning with water or detergent. Please wipe gently with a dry cloth or with a small amount of alcohol. Dried in the shade of a well ventilated room for half a day while the contents are empty, such as at the change of seasons, the moisture absorbed by the paulownia can be released once it is released. Caution This product is not intended to extend the expiration date. It is a product that utilizes the properties of paulownia to preserve the flavor until the end. Remarks This product is handmade from natural wood. Due to the nature of the wood, there may be differences in the actual color and texture, and there may be dents and scratches. Please purchase with your understanding. ●Paulownia characteristics Paulownia wood has a very small shrinkage rate, so there is little dimensional change. This makes it possible to minimize deviations and cracks in the design of precision processing. Therefore, we can make accurate boxes with no gaps. Paulownia wood is porous, made up of dense, bubbly, independent tissue. It regulates humidity by sucking in moisture in humid weather and expelling it when it dries out, as if it were breathing. It also contains ingredients that inhibit the growth of insects and fungus. Due to the high content of tannin, the preservative component, paulownia is resistant to decay and can be used for a long time. Wood has some resilience, but paulownia is more capable of that. It has the ability to restore even a few scratches and dents. In Japan, paulownia has long been used as a chest of drawers for kimonos and as a gift box. One of the charms of paulownia wood is its beautiful grain, and with careful use, it can be enjoyed over time, just like leather goods. ●What is ”kirihaco”? "Masudakiribako" has been manufacturing paulownia boxes in Koga City, Fukuoka Prefecture, for about 90 years. They are constantly researching the types of paulownia that can be used for the purpose of the box and the way it is assembled. And to make the box beautiful and attractive, we also develop and propose our own processing methods to make the box beautiful and attractive. As part of this process, we have been developing products as part of the "kirihaco project" with the owner of the "fukumonoshop (fukuoka life style shop)". This project is based on the concept of a "paulownia box to incorporate into your life". ●About the trading period This product will be made to order if it is not in stock at the actual store.
