Bunaco Apple Container

Description:
From Aomori, Japan these handmade beechwood apple containers are a whimsical nod to the sweet, delicious fruit that is grown in the region. Made from beechwood that has been thinly sliced and coiled into an organic shape. Due to this method of slicing the wood strips rather than carving it into a shape, there is very little waste produced, and all the wood is used. Bunaco containers are the perfect storage for valuables like earrings, rings or any small object.

History:
The Bunaco Company was founded in 1956 on the northern tip of the main island of Japan (Honshu). This area is abundant with beech trees, and Bunaco craftsmen and women have developed eco friendly and flexible products by using this locally grown wood for unique and unexpectedly shaped vessels. Their method of production involves slicing beechwood in 1mm thick slices to make a 1cm-wide ribbon-like strip. This is wound around a solid roundbase to form a coil of timber, which provides a base for making a great variety of shapes.

Materials:
Beechwood
