À propos de SAITO WOOD CO
In 1948, Isamu Saito founded "Saito Woodworks" in Ieyama, in the village of Shimokawane (Haibara district), Shizuoka Prefecture. In 1956, the company completed the production of a set of boxes using the innovative technology of cylindrical molded plywood. Two years later, in 1958, the company moved to the city of Shizuoka and became "Saito Plywood Crafts."
In 1959, the famous basket "No.901" was finalized, a product that remains iconic to this day. In 1966, the subsidiary "Saito Wood" was created to serve the domestic market. It focuses on selling products to inns, hotels, and restaurants, a business that continues to this day.
The technique used
Molded plywood is made by layering and gluing wood veneer sheets 0.2 to 1 mm thick, arranged with cross grain, in a mold subjected to pressure and heat. This technique allows for a solid, thin, and lightweight curved shape, characteristic of plywood.
A useful object, made of wood
Saito Wood makes wastebaskets from molded plywood, a technique the company has mastered since 1956. Thin sheets of veneer are glued with crossed grain and then hot-pressed in a mold, for a curved shape that is strong, thin and light. The walnut finish is a genuine walnut veneer that darkens over time, the teak finish an ayous veneer stained to look like teak. All receive a smooth polyurethane varnish, and their curved lines fit into any type of interior.

Curved lines

A minimalist drawing
The design is minimalist, without ornamentation. It is the wood that gives the object its character.
The artisanal gesture
