Black lacquer pen rest - urushi

The pen holder made of Japanese cherry wood is lacquered using the fuki-urushi technique ("wiped urushi"), in which the wood is soaked with urushi lacquer to highlight the beauty of the grain.

A pen rest that enhances moments between writings. Designed to hold any pen without needing precise placement, it blends effortlessly into your workspace with a subtle yet assured presence.

The simple matte lacquer complements any workspace and pairs well with our Japanese cherry and aluminium pen holders. Enjoy your own combination.

Fuki-urushi is a traditional technique also widely used in historic architecture. Our pen rest and pen holder are ink-stained before being lacquered to bring out both the beauty of the wood grain and the lacquer itself.

USE AND CARE
The presence of shiny spots on the surface is due to an accumulation of urushi lacquer in the wood fibres and should not be considered a flaw. Imperfections are part of the charm of natural wood, and we hope you will appreciate its unique character.
To avoid warping and discoloration, avoid soaking it in water, sudden temperature changes, extreme heat, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Due to the nature of the material and treatment, the grain and colour vary from piece to piece.
If marked with ink, wipe it with a soft cloth.
