Takizawa Plywood Tray
$60.00
Description:
Perfect for organizing mail and documents, these trays bring a touch of warmth and order to any desktop. Layers of plywood and colored paper create a defined, yet gentle contrast against the natural wood. Available in both A4 and A5 sizes, the trays can be stacked, whether matching sizes or mixing the two, to form a seamless column that highlights the beauty of the layered wood.
Variation:
Each piece is handmade, and there may be some color variation throughout the "paper-wood". Each piece will have a slightly different grain and cross-section of plywood.
History:
For nearly a century, Takizawa Veneer in Hokkaido has specialized in fine woodcraft. Under its factory brand, PLYWOOD laboratory, the company developed Paper-Wood—a material that layers natural wood with recycled, dye-colored paper to create durable, vividly striped surfaces. Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans using native Japanese hardwoods, including thinned and underused timber that supports sustainable forest management. The process avoids harmful chemicals and uses only renewable energy, making every product safe and environmentally sound.
Celebrated for its innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability, Paper-Wood has earned both Japan’s Good Design Award and the Wood Design Award.
