PRODUCT STORY: Mastering Molded Plywood – The Kawara Armchair Vol.2
Creating a chair as elegant and lightweight as the Kawara Armchair is no easy feat. The manufacturing process requires meticulous calculations and the expert management of materials by seasoned artisans. The journey begins with crafting bespoke plywood specifically for the Kawara series. Thin veneers are layered with adhesive, inserted into molds tailored to each design, and shaped under the immense pressure and heat of a massive press.
Although this process may appear straightforward, it is entirely dependent on the skill of the artisans. They adjust adhesive formulas according to weather conditions, carefully layer veneers to achieve uniform lamination, and apply just the right amount of pressure to avoid cracks or distortions. This complex and delicate work exemplifies true craftsmanship.

This mastery of molded plywood technology enables the creation of the Kawara Armchair’s beautifully soft curves—something impossible to achieve with solid wood. It transforms wood into an ideal form for furniture: strong, lightweight, and undeniably beautiful. This unwavering dedication to refining plywood craftsmanship embodies the manufacturer’s commitment to excellence.
Available in a variety of colors and textiles, the Kawara Armchair offers endless possibilities to suit your personal style. Choose the wooden seat for a celebration of simplicity and the natural beauty of curved wood, or opt for the upholstered version for enhanced comfort.
