We founded JOHI in 2019 on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

Nowadays, we run our studio in Santa Cruz County, California - still within reach of plenty of waves.

The way we see it

1. Furniture should last — not years, but decades (at a minimum!).

2. Our planet is our client, too. We value craft that encourages repair, reuse, and recycling.

3. The art of craft is changing, not dying. We believe in a combination of machine processes and handcrafted techniques to deliver you high value, collection-worthy products.
