Uchiwa Stool
The Uchiwa Stool tells us the traditional Japanese society rules, through a luxury upholstered stool. Japanese hand fans were transformed into tools of aristocrats and the samurai class, becoming a means to signify social standing and even communicate messages.
The delicacy sensation emerges on the stool with the careful application of scrumptious walnut wood touches and passionate design.
The contrast between fabric and twisted walnut wood in this wonderful stool gives it an extra luxury feel. It will embellish the most sumptuous contemporary or classic setting. This beautifully upholstered stool will add an attractive presence to any room, hotel suite, or master bedroom.

Uchiwa MEMORY
ALMA DE LUCE ® draws UCHIWA, a piece to unveil a story of a symbol of Japan, full of elegance and meanings.
It is a fact that Japan is a country full of stories and traditions. From these traditions come the symbols that are in the memory and represent the Japanese throughout the world.
In Japan, the fan became the symbol of life itself for the Japanese. The sticks radiating out from the rivet symbolized the sun’s rays radiating out and supporting life itself in the form of the leaf.
In ancient Japan, the earliest visual depiction of fans dates back to the 6th century D.C., with burial tomb paintings showing drawings of fans. The folding fan was invented in Japan, with date ranging from the 6th to 9th centuries.
They were made by tying fine strips of hinoki (or Japanese cypress) along with yarn. The number of strips of wood varied according to the person's classification. Later, in the sixteenth century, Portuguese traders introduced it in Europe and soon the men and women across the continent adopted it as fashion trend.
