This event will be held sequentially from April 29, 2026 (Wednesday/Holiday) at three Actus stores: Actus Sendai Store, Actus Shinjuku Store, and Actus Rokko Store.

## About Kitanosumai Sekkeisha
Kitanosumai Sekkeisha has been making furniture with integrity since 1978, with its workshop located in a former school building at the foot of Daisetsuzan in Higashikawa Town, Hokkaido. Their guiding principle is "living in harmony with the rhythm of nature." Driven by a deep environmental consciousness, they limit all wood used in their furniture to solid wood from Hokkaido. Furthermore, instead of adopting an efficient division of labor system, they employ a traditional method where one craftsman is responsible for finishing a single piece of furniture from start to finish. For finishing, they use natural paints such as natural linseed oil-based oils, beeswax, and soap solutions that do not contain organic solvents, creating furniture that gains more character with use and is loved across generations.
Kitanosumai Sekkeisha's furniture, made from 100% Hokkaido materials.
At this event, you can see furniture made from the following high-quality Hokkaido hardwoods, carefully milled by "Suzuki Mokuzai" in Assabu Town:
- Itaya Kaede (Painted Maple): Characterized by its white wood grain and beautiful patterns. It is a translucent wood that changes to an amber color with use.
- Mizunara (Japanese Oak): A calm brown color with a unique beautiful pattern called "Toraf" (tiger stripes), resulting in dignified furniture.
- Onigurumi (Japanese Walnut): A popular wood type with a gloss and calm color that blends well with any space. It is a rare and valuable material due to its difficult supply.
## Actus Exclusive and Special Models Appear
In addition to the many masterpieces that Kitanosumai Sekkeisha has been making for a long time, special items have been prepared for this event.
- PAS Table (Special Model): A special specification table where the strength of solid wood and delicate details beautifully coexist.
- PAS Stool (Limited Model): A limited "Nature Concept" model that intentionally utilizes the knots and individuality of the wood will appear for the popular "PAS Stool" model. Furthermore, a special version using fabric from the prestigious Danish textile brand "Kvadrat" for the upholstery will also be available.
Please take this opportunity to see this valuable collection, where materials nurtured in the northern land and world-class craftsmanship come together.
