Maruni Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture) will be holding a pop-up event titled "RE-INNOVATION - A New Form of Furniture Restoration" from October 12th to 18th, 2022, focusing on renovated furniture. Leveraging its accumulated expertise in restoring furniture, primarily repairing long-used pieces, the company not only repairs but also customizes and arranges pieces to suit modern sensibilities, creating furniture with new value and offering them exclusively for sale through its online store. These pieces will be on display, allowing visitors to experience the timeless beauty of furniture. In addition, limited-edition models uniquely renovated by Takayuki Fujii, designer of the fashion brand "nonnative," will be on special display and for sale. Furthermore, the event will offer furniture that can be customized to customers' specifications, and will also launch a "FOR GOOD COUNTER" concierge service for repairs and renovations. Come experience the unique appeal of renovated furniture, transforming furniture from the good old days into something that suits modern lifestyles and sensibilities.
Special edition supervised by Takayuki Fujii (designer, nonnative)
Maruni Wood Industry, which has attracted global attention with the "MARUNI COLLECTION" in collaboration with Naoto Fukasawa and Jasper Morrison, was founded in 1928 and boasts a history of nearly a century, having released numerous famous collections throughout each era.
Maruni Wood Industry has released a variety of furniture pieces into the world over its nearly century-long history. Even classic furniture manufactured more than half a century ago remains popular in the secondhand market thanks to its reliable craftsmanship, functionality, and timeless design. Products manufactured between the 1950s and 1970s in particular are affectionately known as "Old Marni" among lovers of secondhand and vintage furniture.
This pop-up event will feature furniture manufactured between the 1950s and 1970s that have been renovated with reupholstery, paint, and repairs. As a special edition, a limited edition model supervised by Takayuki Fujii will be released. Mr. Fujii, who has long admired the "Old Marni" products and their nickname, visited the Bando Factory, which renovates Maruni Wood Industry furniture, in preparation for this project. He discussed the specifications with the craftsmen, carefully selecting the upholstery for each piece. For the Chopin armchairs and rocking chairs, crafted from rare quince wood, he not only suggested the shape of the seat cushions and the addition of brass rings, but also suggested finishing touches such as the paper cord finish for the popular Delta Chair. Rather than engaging in eccentric renovations, he aimed to maximize the appeal of each product by retaining the period feel of the time while achieving a level of perfection that is relevant today. Mr. Fujii oversaw 10 items across six models. Each model, supervised by Takayuki Fujii, comes with a plate featuring a reproduction of the original peacock logo.
Delta Chair (Paper Cord) 121,000 yen (110,000 yen for the product) W375×D450×H710×SH440mm

Takayuki Fujii/nonnative Designer
After working as a staff member at a major select shop, he became the designer of "nonnative" in 2001. Based on the design of work and military wear, his items are reconstructed with attention to detail, including materials and stitching, and are supported by many fans as a standard for adults. In recent years, attention has been drawn not only to his fashion but also to his lifestyle and aesthetic sensibility.
FOR GOOD COUNTER
Well-made furniture can withstand many years of use. However, over time, various problems can arise, such as dirt and scratches, worn-out cushions, frayed upholstery, and loose legs. What's more, an increasing number of people want to rearrange their furniture to suit changes in their life, such as moving or changes in family composition, or to redecorate or renovate their homes.
Maruni Furnishing, a group company of Maruni Wood Industry, has been able to meet a wide variety of needs with the Maruni Group's outstanding woodworking repair techniques. In order to share the new potential and value of used furniture with a wider audience, we hope to convey the value of furniture not just by "making and using" but also by "repairing, reviving, and reusing" through our renovation techniques. As one of Japan's leading furniture manufacturers, we will share our accumulated expertise in proper furniture making in a new way, and provide furniture as a tool for daily life that can be used more reliably and with greater freedom.
At the event venue, we will set up a consultation desk for repairs and renovations, focusing on Maruni Wood Industry furniture. Why not take this opportunity to give your beloved furniture, which has become a part of your life over the years, a fresh look? Our craftsmen, armed with the high-quality and highly skilled skills you'd expect from a manufacturer, will work diligently with each customer's furniture, carefully reupholstering, repairing paint, and improving comfort.
