The Takumi Brand

Who we are, Why we exist, How we work, What we do
Who we are

Takumi Woodwork is a small furniture workshop in Niseko, Hokkaido.

The team is five people from Japan and overseas, working in the same building as the showroom.

Most of the work is solid timber tables, cabinets and small runs of pieces for houses, apartments and hospitality projects. Parts are designed, machined and finished in the workshop, then delivered and installed locally or shipped within Japan and overseas.

Why we exist

Takumi Woodwork exists to make solid timber furniture for houses, apartments and small businesses in and around Niseko. The workshop fills the gap between disposable flat-pack and expensive imports by building pieces that actually fit local spaces and can be repaired or altered over time. Keeping design, machining and finishing in one place in Hokkaido makes repeat orders, small runs and awkward one-off jobs possible without sending work out of the area.

How we work

Ready-made items from our online shop and Kutchan showroom can be bought on demand/ off the shelf. We also can craft commissioned furniture and interiors based on your specific needs.

What we do

Crafting handmade Wooden furniture, small everyday items, and fitting out interiors. Located on the outskirts of Kutchan with our workshop downstairs and showroom upstairs, schedule a visit and drop by and see for yourself.

Made our bar and benchtop look and feel like a work of art. Everyone comments on how amazing it is. Super functional as well.

Louis and his team are outstanding. Absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen! From start to finish, Louis was professional, communicative, and incredibly detail-oriented. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and every element was tailored perfectly to our space and style. They stayed on schedule, kept the site clean, and were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality custom woodwork whatever the project may be.
