Akita Dog – Polepole Wooden Animal By T-Lab

Akita Dog Polepole wooden animal designed and created in Japan by T-Lab.  Hand-crafted in Indonesia, each Polepole animal is skillfully carved by hand out of an incredibly soft, light sustainable wood called albizia, grown on T-Lab’s own farms in Indonesia.  The wood is then carefully sanded to create a super smooth surface and finally hand painted and finished in Japan with the sweetest expressions and patterns.  

Polepole is pronounced ‘poh-leh poh-leh’ and translates as ‘slowly slowly’ in Swahili, referring to the careful hand-carved process used to craft each animal.  Each animal is unique and has its own charm and character as it is completely hand-made.

Width 6.5cm x Depth 3cm x Height 7cm.

Made from white Albizia wood.

We love T-Lab’s unique wooden animals, a beautifully made product for decoration or play.
