In order to create wooden products with a low environmental impact, we are working on the following four things.
1. Environmentally friendly manufacturing method
We use the "co-wood making" method of efficiently using wood taken from the same tree by bonding it together in all of our products.
Products made of a single sheet without seams are luxurious, but they also produce a lot of waste. However, it is possible to reduce waste while retaining as much of the aesthetic beauty as possible.
In addition, our salad bowls use a "layer manufacturing method" in which wooden boards are hollowed out into a ring shape and molded into a bowl shape by stacking them on top of each other (originally developed in the 1960s).
Compared to the general method of carving from wood blocks, products can be manufactured with about 1/5 of the wood.
2. Use of timber that has been planted in a planned way
Many of our wood products are made from wood grown in planned afforestation in Thailand and Vietnam. The cycle from planting to logging is strictly controlled, so the burden on the global environment can be kept to a minimum.
3. Standard design that can be used for a long time
Taking good care of wooden products for a long time will help reduce wood consumption and avoid unnecessary deforestation. That's why we value standard designs that are not affected by trends and never get tired so that they can be used for a long time.
4. High quality backed by more than 70 years of know-how
With more than 70 years of experience in wood products and close cooperation with factories in Southeast Asia, we are able to produce high-quality products at affordable prices.
For example, the hybrid coating used in many products achieves both high aesthetics and stable quality. At the same time as achieving a smooth and luxurious feel, the rate of non-defective products is improved by suppressing uneven color and gloss. Because of its high quality, it can be used for a long time.
