Maruni Wood Industry inc. will participate in "60vision."
1960’s is a period when Japanese companies tried so hard to produce" universally acceptable standard products.” "60vision" is an activity that we clarify the long life market with the founder’s dream under the keyword of the 1960's.
Maruni Wood Industry Inc. approves this concept of "60vision." From now on, we would like to try to pursue the possibilities of nextmaruni (=next step for Maruni.)
For the first work of "maruni60", we will be reproducing a living chair and a table made by Maruni Wood Industry Inc.
Good design has nothing to do with the passage of the time. You could feel it as an ordinary good design even if it is old.
We will announce them at the "100% Design Tokyo."
The living chair can be made into a one-seater, as well as for two and three…as freely as you like it to be. It is a superior piece, considering the fact that you can make the combination of the seating and do maintenance by yourself.
