In recent years, there has been a growing demand for "biophilic design" and "woodification" that incorporates natural elements in commercial facilities and hotels. However, due to strict interior decoration restrictions, the difficulty of curved construction with conventional non-combustible panel materials, and the increase in costs and labor, there have been cases where the adoption of real wood had to be abandoned. In response to these challenges, Woodone will launch the non-combustible veneer wallpaper "kiori," which combines flexibility like wallpaper with non-combustible performance. ■ The texture of real wood and excellent workability Using carefully selected natural wood veneer (approximately 0.23mm), it reproduces the light fluctuations and textures that cannot be achieved with printed sheets. Wallpaper craftsmen can apply it directly to gypsum boards and other surfaces using a glue applicator, eliminating the need for extensive protective measures and significantly reducing construction time and costs. ■ Curved construction and reliable non-combustible performance It can bend freely in the direction parallel to the wood grain, making it easy to install on R-walls and columns, which were previously difficult. By applying it to a non-combustible substrate, it complies with the "non-combustible materials" certification from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The kiori (total thickness 0.27 to 0.36mm) and kiori (adhesive type) (total thickness 0.30 to 0.42mm) will be available, along with standard 44 colors and patterns, as well as custom colors and local materials. *Minimum order quantity available: 5 sheets or more.

In recent years, while the size of residential spaces has been shrinking, there has been a growing demand from architects and designers for designs that "reduce lines as much as possible." However, designing spaces to appear clean and spacious by making door heights reach the ceiling or by minimizing the visibility of frames has posed challenges that require high skill levels from carpenters and significant construction time when attempted with conventional on-site construction methods. Against this backdrop, this year's Dretas has developed doors and storage fixtures that do not reveal frames, with the concept of "creating a noise-free space with empty space." ■ Base Frame (Fixtures) The structure hides the frame within the wall, achieving a refined design without the frame being visible from either side. It features a specially designed frame and concealed hinges that allow for 180-degree opening and closing. Frame widths (132mm, 147mm, 183mm) are set to accommodate wall thickness, eliminating the need for frame processing and supporting smooth installation. ■ Outset Frame (Storage Fixtures) The structure has the frame attached to the inside of the door, allowing the door and wall to fit flatly together. It can be configured for two or three panels, seamlessly blending even large wall storage into the space as if it were "just a wall." By using additional elements like the 3mm thick "Baseboard S-type," the installation becomes even more beautiful, enhancing the noise-free space.

Wood One Co., Ltd. has renewed the brand site for its architectural material product "WO Timeless Standard Collection," welcoming product designer Naoto Fukasawa as the director. "High quality, timeless, and something that quietly deepens its appreciation in everyday life." Building materials are an essential element that supports a comfortable space while being part of the background of life. Our company continues to pursue a way of building materials that enriches the quality of life, rather than just "scrap and build." The circular forests of New Zealand, nurtured over approximately 30 years, produce timber that is beautifully solid and deepens richness over time in our lives. We aim to create building materials that are used and loved for a long time. WO is a collection that embodies this sentiment. In this renewal, the site has evolved to convey not only the products but also the value of the spaces and time they create. Please take a look at the newly updated brand site.
