PLYWOOD laboratory is a factory brand of plywood products by the long-established plywood manufacturer Takizawa Plywood in Hokkaido. Using a special material developed in 2009 titled 'Paper-Wood', they are now manufacturing products using advanced woodworking skills in Asahikawa, one of the largest furniture production areas in Japan.

Paper-Wood is a plywood that has a colourful and beautiful cross section created using lamination of coloured recycled paper and wood that's been grown in Hokkaido. By teaming up with studio DRILL Design and FULLSWING they have made works that are fun, well-made, and aesthetically pleasing on the eye.
