nisi-bi is a woodshop run by Naoki and Yuka Nakayama.
Based in Totsukawa Village in the deep mountains of Okuyoshino, Nara Prefecture—an area known for its thriving forestry—we primarily create wooden furniture.
Our focus is on making products that feel good to use in everyday life,
crafting with an appreciation for the texture and beauty of natural materials.
家具の材料には国産木材、主に奈良県産のヒノキを使用。
地元の製材所と連携し、国産の良質な木材を仕入れています。
木の素材感を大切にし、永く使える家具づくりを目指しています。
仕上げには自然由来の塗料を使用。全ての家具はメンテナンス、
修理が可能です。
特注家具の製作も承ります。
We use domestic wood—mainly Nara-grown hinoki cypress—as the primary material for our furniture.
By working closely with local sawmills, we source high-quality, locally harvested timber.
We value the natural character of wood and strive to create furniture that can be used for many years.
For the finish, we use natural, plant-based oils. All of our furniture is designed to be maintainable and repairable.
We also accept custom furniture orders.
