nepros neXT Walnut Series

KYOTO TOOL CO., LTD. (Kyoto)

This series of chest of drawers was produced based on the concept of designating a storage place, or “home,” for each tool and item we use daily. The wood is made of natural walnut known for its rich texture and a luxurious feel while the metal fittings are kept to a minimum so that they are not seen from outside. To make it less oppressive when placed in the living space, it features pull-out drawers that give an impression of lightness despite its sturdy design. The curved lines of the tray and the top panel also create a soft impression. In addition to the chest, the company also offers a set of beautiful urushi ratchet handles, which are made by applying Japan’s traditional Kyo-urushi finish technique for the grip of the company’s “NBR390” ratchet handle featuring 90-tooth gear, which showcases Japanese fine quality and craftsmanship at its best. The length of the handle has been designed to be longer than usual ones so that the users can enjoy the urushi design while also achieving a beautiful balance as a tool. The design of the exclusive tray for storing the ratchet handles are well thought out to beautifully showcase urush’s patterns. The products can be repaired and can be used for a long time. A great combination of traditional design and functional beauty, which was only made possible by Nepros, the ultimate tool line that offers a high level of functionality, performance, ease of use and beauty found in no other tools.
