More than thinking of the physical aspects of wood, we chose an intangible value: fragrance - something unique to each species of tree - something which can suggest fond memories, or unexplored places.
KiKiKi wants to share the experience of the forest (the breeze, the savour, the bouquet) in its purest state, no matter where you are.
The Designers
