KUMINO BRICK was created when we were asked if it was possible to produce Kumino‘s joined building blocks from brick.
When hearing this, it was first necessary to work on a change in the set common perception of what a brick is.
Since bricks are pottery, the biggest challenge was to faithfully reproduce the dimensions of the wooden Kumino blocks.
When we succeeded through a process of repeated trial and error, we were delighted. At the same time, there was a great sense of accomplishment in regards to breaking the common understanding of what a brick is.
With its excellent heat resistance, fire resistance, weather resistance, the possibility of mass-production, and the versatile uses for other applications, it has all the advantages of common brick.
We believe compared to off-the-shelf bricks that represent a high DIY threshold, KUMINO BRICK can be assembled easily without great effort and in a playful manner.
Finally, we will continue to make bricks in different shapes and sizes to meet the needs of our end users.
KUMINO BRICK is owned by Hayashi Chikuro K.K.For nearly 20 years, Hayashi Chikro K.K. has been engaged in refractory construction such as incinerators, boilers, induction rnaces, aluminum furnaces, and ceramic kilns, as well as equipment related to furnaces.
KUMINO is a hand-made wooden joined building block that originated in Japan, using wood from all over the country.Despite its unique shape, its characteristic is that it can be assembled freely.
KUMANO BRICK uses SK-34, which is also used in furnace construction.
It can withstand high temperatures of 1300 degrees Celsius (2372 degrees Fahrenheit).
