Start with the bare oak stool, or add a cushion in Kvadrat wool, Dedar linen, or full-grain leather. Every combination is made to order in the same workshop.
Each year, ENWA edits its upholstery palette as a considered season. These six upholstery surfaces are available for orders placed through 31 December 2026. A new upholstery edit begins in 2027; Ishi’s oak form remains.
Ishi in oak alone remains outside the seasonal upholstery edit.

20 notes from private homes and professional projects, kept in each writer’s original language.
Rotate the stool, read the joinery, and place it in your own room in augmented reality.
Panel-built from solid white oak, with the grain running in opposing directions so the seat stays flat for decades. Every edge is eased by hand until the stool reads softer than it looks.
Panel-built from solid boards, not cut from a single log — a deliberate choice that keeps the seat flat for decades.
Most furniture is made for the photograph. This one is made for the hand. Every edge is eased by hand until the stool reads softer than it looks — the work you notice only when you pick it up.
Solid, not veneer. White oak at 1,350 lbf Janka, panel-built so the grain runs in opposing directions and the seat stays true.

Seat, side table, bedside, plant stand, step. The Ishi was drawn to be useful in more than one place, so it rarely stays where you first put it.
At 8 kg it moves with one hand, and at 445 mm it sits comfortably beside a bed, a bath or a sofa. Clients most often buy two.

Ishi is the smallest piece in the ENWA collection. The same edge language runs through every one.
Six questions the studio is asked most.
Solid white oak throughout, FAS grade. No veneer, no MDF core. The stool is panel-built from solid boards with the grain running in opposing directions, which keeps the seat flat over decades.
A single wide board moves with humidity and eventually cups. Panel construction distributes that movement, so the seat stays true. It is the harder way to build and the reason the piece lasts.
White oak measures 1,350 lbf on the Janka hardness scale. The stool is rated to be stood on by an adult and is used as a step in many homes.
Yes. The bare oak stool is $1,300. Cushions are an option, not a requirement, and can be added later.
Delivery is DDP to 34 countries. International freight, customs clearance, and import duties are included. Any applicable destination VAT, GST, or sales tax is disclosed separately at checkout.
Hand-oiled finish. Wipe with a dry cloth; re-oil once a year with any hardwax oil. Marks sand out with fine paper and a fresh coat — the finish is designed to be repaired at home.
