ALEXCIOUS

A timber timepiece of artful ambience

Luxurious lumber

The Hacoa Wall Clock is a handsomely engineered single slab of timber with a Japanese quartz movement. Presented in a choice of solid walnut or maple, the clock’s face beautifully shows off its unique natural wood grain patterns. Enhanced by a super smooth satin finish, the face’s cleanly drilled, shallow holes indicate the numeral positions while elegant, matte black metal hour, minute and second hands accurately do their job.

Hacoa - Ecology, Hacoa style.

Based in Fukui prefecture, Yamaguchi Crafts began life some 50 years ago producing wooden boxes to be urushi lacquered. Concerned about the ever increasing consumption of plastics in the developed world, in 2001 they began to produce ecologically friendly items under the brand name Hacoa (taken from ‘hako’ meaning box in Japanese). Hacoa create beautiful, useful wooden items to fit our environmentally friendly, modern lifestyles. Occasionally also producing one-off items, in 2002 they created a name box to commemorate the birthday of Princess Aiko, and in 2004 were commissioned to produce wooden plaques for two luxury cruise liners, the Diamond Princess and the Sapphire Princess.
