Some containers hold things. The Hako Soji does that and then sits on your shelf looking like someone made a very deliberate decision about what a container should be — because they did. Designed by Mute Studio and hand turned in the Yamanaka Onsen lacquerware tradition, the richly colored red lid and natural wood base are simple enough to feel inevitable. At home on a desk, a bathroom shelf, or a kitchen counter. Three sizes; one very considered decision about what a container should look like. Made to order for Wms&Co., quantities are limited.

Founded in Ishikawa in 1930 by Unomatsu Hata, Hatashikki is a family-run business now led by Hata Manabu — three generations into the craft, with their original handcraft wood and urushi lacquer techniques intact.

Alexander V. ★★★★★

The three sizes mean I can finally stop shoving everything into one drawer—the middle one holds my sticky notes and charger, while the smallest sits on my desk for loose change. The wood grain is subtle enough that it doesn’t clash with anything, and the lid fits snugly without needing to be forced.

Madison ★★★★★

The smaller box is perfect for paperclips while the largest one swallows my sticky notes and USB cables without looking cluttered. The wood grain is so clean it feels almost sculptural, and the lid fits flush enough that nothing rattles around. My desk finally looks intentional instead of chaos.

Hannah ★★★★★

The three sizes stack perfectly on my desk corner, and the wood grain is so even it looks almost too clean to be holding my paperclips and stray cables. It's the kind of piece that makes you want to tidy up around it just to match its energy.
