T-Lab Japan's heartwarming 'polepole animals' are painstakingly hand-carved and polished by their team of artisans.

From our hand to your hand. T-Lab Japan wants to warm people's hearts. That is T-Lab's philosophy.

T-Lab Japan uses non-composite natural wood to make all of their products.
The tree that they use is called 'Albizia'.This tree is one of the quickest growing tropical trees.
It is thought that these trees are more sustainable than others.
Because of their rapid growth. They also help to combat deforestation.
T-Lab Japan has started to plant these trees as a way to repay the earth - in a small way - for its bounty. 

T-Lab Japan's products are all hand-made by their workshop's artisans in Bali.
At first, they cut a rough form of the animals on solid wooden boards. Then these are dried in an oven for a long time. After that, these are finished by hand, polished with sandpaper and all hand-painted.

It is very difficult work that only an artisan with excellent technique can finish.
That's the reason why all of their animals have unique facial expressions.
Please enjoy T-Lab Japan's heart-warming animals, after all, the one that you hold in your hand is the only one in the world quite like it.
