Hundreds of years ago, Japanese woodworkers discovered that they could prolong the life of wood by charring the exposed surface. This process, called yakisugi, created enviable results that are still in high demand. Ignite combines the stunning look of yakisugi with superior strength and durability all the way to the core. And unlike with charred wood, there’s no messy residue – just lasting beauty that’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
