The reflection chair is a statement chair, comfortable and elegant in any room. Its framework features traditional joinery techniques while the seat is built of a modern and lightweight bent lamination reminiscent of the designs ushered in by the Eames'. 

Customizable panels add a pop of color and intrigue: glass, acrylic, or metal.

Care Tips

All furniture pieces come with our recommended wood cleaning solution. Wood furniture should never be cleaned with harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive surfaces, or too much water. Be sure to dust, wipe, and dry with a soft cloth.

Wood is a natural material that is subject to environmental changes. Heavy air conditioning and direct sunlight can be particularly tough on natural wood pieces. Wherever possible plan to offset intense, direct impact of these conditions.

All finishes are prone to natural wearing. For this reason, we do not warranty any of our products' finishes.

Interior Residential Fabrication Warranty

We provide a two (2) year structural warranty for interior, residential uses of our hardwood furniture, which begins on the date of delivery. If, within the Warranty Period, your furniture fails structurally or develops large cracks in the joinery, we (JOHI LLC) will at our own option implement repair or replacement.

Finishes are not warrantied. Natural wear and tear should be expected, as no finish is completely resistant to marks or scratches.

Note: This warranty does not include misuse, failure to upkeep, acts of god (or children), water damage, mildew, normal wear, freeze damage, pests, or if the furniture is used in a commercial setting.

our promise

We believe the process of design results in a more thoughtful world. We are committed to combining professional experience with inspired exploration to create honest, functional home & life products.

  • small batch, small footprint

    We produce our work in limited batches and on a made-to-order basis. In this approach, we give greater attention to each product’s lifecycle and its impact on our earth, from the day we source materials, to their refinishing, recycling, or decomposition.

  • domestic difference

    Yep! We don't just design here in California. We make our work here too. That means we employ and work with the humans and businesses of our local area and broader US to support a stronger local economy.

we've pledged 1% of all sales to support nonprofit sustainability initiatives.

We started our business in Hāli'imaile, Hawai'i and are now based in Santa Cruz county, California. Our environments from mauka to makai have always been an important part of our lives. This commitment is just one way we choose to give back.
