Giving new value to discarded seat belts.
A self-assembly STOOL made from discarded car seat belts and 100% Latvian white birch plywood from plantation trees.
With the large number of new cars manufactured and sold each year, approximately 3.5 million cars are disposed of annually in Japan. Japan's automobile recycling rate is said to be in the upper 90% range, thanks to its excellent technology. On the other hand, airbags and seat belts are very sturdy and have a special construction, making them difficult and time-consuming to reuse.
Unfortunately, many of them are being discarded.
obi is a STOOL made by combining recycled seat belts, which are particularly difficult to use on their own, with Latvian white birch plywood made from 100% plantation wood.
A simple structure that does not use any nails or metal fittings.
Planted trees: Planting trees on land that has been logged primarily for the purpose of timber production. Appropriate care such as weeding and thinning contributes to forest conservation and environmental conservation.
White birch plywood: Three times stronger than general structural plywood and has excellent water resistance.
The name obi comes from the fact that the state of three belts (obi) stretched out matches the shape of the kanji character for "obi."
With the cooperation of woodworker Hisashi Kaku and contemporary craftsman Gucci Mizuguchi, we have created a wonderful STOOL that fits in well with both interior and outdoor environments.
There are three main seat belt colors available.
Black, beige, silver
*Since we use recycled seat belts, there will be individual differences.
Please enjoy each one's unique personality.

OBI is a STOOL made by combining 100% plantation-grown Latvian white birch plywood with discarded seat belts, which are particularly difficult to use by themselves.
It has a simple structure that does not use any nails or metal fittings.
Plantation tree ... Planting trees on the land after logging mainly for the purpose of timber production. Proper undercutting, thinning, and other maintenance leads to forest conservation and environmental protection.
White birch plywood ... Three times stronger than ordinary structural plywood, with excellent water resistance.
The name "obi" comes from the link between the three belts and the form of the Chinese character "obi" (belt).
With the cooperation of woodworker Hisashi Garai and contemporary craftsman Gucci Mizuguchi, we have created a wonderful STOOL that fits both interior and outdoor use in a way that was not possible before.
The seatbelt is available in three main colors: black, beige, and white.
Black, beige, and silver.
Because the seat belts are made from recovered waste seat belts, there are individual differences.
Please enjoy them as their own individuality.
