What we can do for environmental problems

Shikada Sangyo, which splits natural bamboo into thin strips and weaves them into fabric,
celebrates its 110th anniversary.

　We will disseminate the charm of natural materials that have a low burden on the world’s
common environmental problems.

　Bamboo is a fast-growing plant with high strength and resilience.

　The woven bamboo fabric (SHIKADA WOVEN) has some fire-retardant certifications so
that it can be used in commercial facilities.
（Please check the fabric and target country.）

　Shikada Sangyo will continue to provide products with a focus on natural materials.

Salone del Mobile The 60th Edition ” Design with Nature “


The 60th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano was held from 7 to 12 June 2022. A Topic of sustainability was raised by architect Mario Cucinella who had developed a project (Design with Nature) which raised awareness of how to create an eco-friendly product allowing us to live in harmony with nature instead of continuing to consume limited resources relentlessly. Sustainable materials such as fish scale, mango, bamboo, cotton, cork were introduced. Shikada Sangyo’s product was chosen to represent the bamboo material.

Diversity, Global Warming and Society

Shikada Sangyo will continue making product made of natural bamboo material to create a future where we can sustainably coexist with nature.

Architects and designers, when taking on a new project, in addition to price, appearance, and durability, it is important to take in environment-friendly aspect into consideration.
Lets make the world better for the sake of our future generations!!
