Bonsai is a subtle scent of vibrant forest with notes of green tea and a slight sweetness from mandarin and orange.
Bonsai is available in three designs so you can choose your favourite, or even switch between the different expressions.
What If scentsticks were designed in soft and flowing shapes, the scent would be preserved for longer and they could double as a decorative tree sculpture.
As well as a pleasantly fragranced room, you’ll be able to enjoy a traditional-style sculpture with a completely new twist.

“In Japan, it’s traditional to represent the contemporary world and link it to the past. Decorating with braided thread is a reminder of this connection through time. Scent sticks are also a symbol of future success as they carry the scent of traditional philosophy and embody it,” Takafumi Nemoto explains.
Takafumi Nemoto presents a tree, a fragrant sculpture made from hand-knotted rattan, reminiscent of classic Japanese craft tradition. A vase with in stoneware contains a scented oil that does not smell like a perfume, but naturally fresh like a room that’s just been aired. Here, Japanese exploration of the senses and Scandinavian design combine. 

Takafumi started with a bundle of rattan, which he found in a corner of his workshop that made him wonder why scent sticks are always straight and a little boring. If they were instead designed in soft and flowing shapes, the scent would be preserved for longer and they could double as a decorative tree sculpture.

Bonsai is available in three designs so you can choose your favourite, or even switch between the different expressions; Bonsai Breeze, which denotes a small tree with the wind in its branches, Bonsai Blossom, in the form of a flower- ing branch, or Bonsai Cloud, which is shaped like floating clouds in the sky.
