Brand Concept

Maruni Wood Industry, founded in 1928 in Hiroshima, pioneered the industrial application of Japanese wood craftsmanship under the philosophy of 'Industrialized Craftsmanship'—merging handwork and machining to achieve crafted beauty at consistent quality and fair pricing. Since 2004 the brand has partnered with world-class designers to project Japanese aesthetic sensibility onto the global stage, creating pieces that transcend time, cultures, and borders.

Signature Products

  • HIROSHIMA Armchair 2008 Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, its arms flow seamlessly into the backrest as if carved from a single block of wood, combining advanced engineering with handcraft; now distributed to 30+ countries.
  • ROUNDISH Chair 2011 Designed by Jasper Morrison as part of the MARUNI COLLECTION, it exemplifies quiet mastery of solid wood joinery and pared-down form that honours Maruni's tradition of warm craftsmanship.
