Most of the olive trees currently in circulation are from North Africa or Europe such as Italy. Depending on the region of origin, the characteristics of olive wood vary. Wood from North Africa has a dark color and a clear shade of grain, giving it a wild impression. On the other hand, the Italian wood we handle is made of wood grain. It has a gentle contrast and an elegant texture. [Earth-friendly manufacturing process] Our olive products are made in an environmentally friendly manner. Products made of a single sheet without seams are luxurious, but they also produce a lot of waste. Therefore, in order to reduce the environmental impact by using wood without waste, we do not carve a single board. We use "co-wood making". Kyogi is wood taken from the same tree.
