Parquet work that combines unique wooden parts with colors and patterns. The old parquet manufacturing method in Japan still remains in Northern Europe Sweden. A parquet box from Scandinavian Hemslojd, which has a different country but has something in common with its beauty. A small wooden box that is simple and warm will fit naturally into your room.

Combine juniper annual rings

A parquet box made of natural juniper wood that does not have the same pattern as one. Juniper is a shrub, has thin branches, is durable and has a bactericidal effect, so it has long been used in containers and cutlery as a material for daily necessities in Scandinavian countries. Juniper is also used in aroma oils and liqueurs because it has a refreshing scent. The Skandinavisk Hemslojd parquet box uses such junipers and has a surface treatment called inlays. Inlay is a technique of fitting different parts into wood, and in the parquet box, the annual rings look like a pattern by this processing.

Furthermore, no metal fittings are used for the parquet box, and the parts that connect the lid and the main body are also made of juniper, so you can enjoy the good scent of juniper. The oil is soaked in and the surface is smooth to the touch. Since it is not coated like plastic, it has the characteristic of a natural material whose color changes slightly over the years.

Since they are all made of natural materials, each product has its own color, annual rings, knots, etc. It is an item that you want to treat carefully because it is not mass-produced. All three sizes are convenient for storing small items. You can use it in various ways, such as putting in your favorite jewelry, storing stationery that you tend to lose such as clips, and storing small kitchen utensils. Although not flashy, the warm parquet box that always stays close to you is recommended not only for home use but also as a gift for those who like natural things.

Bringing Scandinavian life to the world

Scandinavian Hemslojd was founded in 1995 in the suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden. A Finnish-Swedish Urla and her daughter Anna are a woodworking company that started to protect and convey the traditional crafts of Scandinavia. Together with local craftsmen, we work on products that are particular about materials, manufacturing processes, and quality.

Beautiful trees such as alder and juniper are spread in Scandinavia, and Scandinavian Hemslojd uses them as materials to create products that have been used in daily life for a long time. The traditional Nordic manufacturing methods, such as choosing wood with less deviation and bactericidal action, and assembling only with wood without using metal, are similar to traditional Japanese crafts. While using sustainable wood as a material, it is a product that is close to our daily lives and has taken root in the way it is used, not disposable, but sometimes oiled and maintained.
