Yakisugi Design NZ is a specialized artisan workshop and design studio based in Mangawhai, New Zealand, that creates bespoke, hand-finished furniture, architectural elements, and outdoor sculptures. They utilize the traditional 18th-century Japanese wood preservation technique known interchangeably as Yakisugi or Shou Sugi Ban, which involves carefully charring timber surfaces with fire. The studio is highly regarded for blending the natural transformation philosophy of Wabi-Sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) with high-end, functional durability for modern kiwi homes and landscapes.
