March 5, 2013 Press Release

Maruni Collection 2013 at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile.

Maruni Wood Industry (head office: Hiroshima Pref.), celebrating our 85th anniversary in this May, will be presenting an exhibition at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in the Fiera main exhibition complex. This is the first time that Maruni will have our own individual booth at the Fiera main exhibition complex.

From our first exhibition in 2008, Maruni Collection has been adding products little by little as our world view has been expanding accordingly. This year, Maruni will be presenting a folding chair that has inherited a form with the presence of an armchair and a comfort that envelopes one’s body from the Hiroshima concept by Naoto Fukasawa, which has been receiving high praise since when it was launched, as well as an armchair from the Lightwood concept designed by Jasper Morrison. Also included in our exhibition is the Malta, dining table, made of solid wood that provides a simplicity and warmth enabling it to be matched with nearly any type of chair.
Besides, we’ll also show Asian Bench, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, that simply melts into your daily life, and the Botan bench from Jasper Morrison that can be enjoyed outdoors as well.
Our art director, Naoto Fukasawa, will again organize the exhibition site as he did last year.
This is the sixth year for the Maruni Collection. Maruni will continue presenting refined Japanese craftsmanship and our aesthetic sense to rediscover original spirits of the wood.. We are greatly looking forward to your visit.
