Hlh is a brand dedicated to preserving and promoting the extraordinary beauty of Koa, a native Hawaiian tree. Once abundant across the Hawaiian Islands, Koa is now rare, particularly at lower elevations. Its appearance is incredibly diverse, ranging from red to brown, golden, and even ivory.

The grain patterns can be straight, but the most prized Koa exhibits a captivating curly figure that seems to penetrate the surface of the wood. This unique wood finishes with a remarkable luster and depth, making it highly sought-after for heirloom furniture. Koa was historically cherished by Hawaiian royalty, used for everything from canoes to furnishings.

Not only is Koa visually stunning, but it also plays a crucial ecological role as a nitrogen-fixing tree that can thrive in nutrient-poor soils. As a result, it paves the way for other species to flourish. Fine furniture makers in Hawaii appreciate Koa's exquisite qualities, while musicians around the world recognize its exceptional value as a tone wood.

Hlh is fully committed to preserving and ensuring the availability of this remarkable timber
