Yamawawa

Yamakawa - the Japanese brand synonymous with rattan with over 60 years of history - presents the 2018 new furniture collection.

Yamakawa collections combine the sobriety and rigor of their Japanese origins with the best rattan from Indonesia, skillfully bent by hand using age-old techniques. Keeping the link with origins, respecting the inheritance received without losing identity - when starting from an artisan workshop in Tokyo in the 50s up to become an international brand – it’s a challenge that Yamakawa has been able to deal with successfully.

Already been cleared for use in interiors, rattan furniture are living a second youth, testified by the success on the market of a never forgotten natural material - regretted by those who remember it in their houses when they were children, but loved also by those who are discovering nowadays its lightness and supergreen soul. 

Yamakawa pieces have not just an unconventional attitude and ultra contemporary design, but are made with the best rattan available in the world. It comes from the rainforests of Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Sumatra, where it grows fastly and reproduces incessantly, a feature that makes it an eco-friendly material par excellence in its raw state.

Yamakawa was also the first Japanese company to have a product selected for the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York.
