Environmental goals such as countermeasures against climate change, protection of marine resources and land abundance are often discussed, but problems are being raised about all the issues facing the world, from poverty and gender, health to job satisfaction. In the interior industry, efforts to review and reuse materials have begun.

In the process of making Kurotani Washi, the mulberry bark, which is normally removed, is entirely hand-made to create wallpaper with a rich texture, “Marudaki Washi”. The rough expression of the material gives depth to the interior.
Flax Wallpaper
This non toxic wallpaper is made of viscose rayon, flax (linen) and plant-derived fibers. Printed with water-based latex inks that do not contain harmful solvents. Since it is a 100% plant-derived material that does not contain any vinyl, it will be decomposed by bacteria and returned to the soil.
