Keyholder for Week Kamiyama

Even a child knows how valuable the forest is. The fresh, breathtaking smell of trees. Echoing birds flying above that dense magnitude. A stable climate, a sustainable diverse life and a source of culture. Yet, forests and other ecosystems hang in the balance, threatened to become croplands, pasture, and plantations.

One of the first physical encounters that a customer has with an hotel is through a key holder. Therefore the importance of it is crucial to the experience of its stay.

Designed for Week Kamiyama, The Creative Mountain Studio together with Morgane de Klerk, have made a simple & clear key holder that is tactile with local Sugi. Finished with high quality Komihimo, Silk rope from Kyoto.
