Based in Hokkaido is the plywood manufacturer Taizawa Plywood. Using their ‘Paper-Wood’ that they developed in 2009 they manufacture their work using advanced woodworking skills in Asahikawa, one of the largest furniture production areas in Japan.

Paper-Wood is a plywood with beautiful cross section colouring that was created by laminating coloured recycled paper and wood grown in Hokkaido.

Collaborating with studio FULLSWING they have produced these boxes that are designed to be stacked, resulting in towers with a striped pattern.

Please note: Each piece is handmade and can take 6-12 weeks to be produced. Ships directly from the maker’s studio in Japan.
