  Flat Bamboo Product Series

Using our unique patented processing method,we transform bamboo into a new, utterly unique material.

Bamboo has long been used as a material for furniture and everyday articles. However, its possibilities have always been limited due to bamboo’s natural shape that has limited its workability. In recent years, bamboo has been somewhat forgotten, replaced by plastic and other easy-to-form materials. Using our unique technology, we have made it possible to process flat plates of bamboo, allowing us to create products that are altogether new.
These products are garnering attention due to their uniqueness and high-quality designs.
Our chairs designed by world-famous product designer Toshiyuki Kita have attracted attention, landing on the cover of famous Italian design magazines and so on. Our bamboo products were exhibited at the Salone Internazionale Del Mobile Di Milano in Italy, one of the world’s largest furniture trade fairs, in order to promote their unique characteristics.
The products lineup included tableware, lacquered boxes, and business card holders.

Looking to support a society where people and cats can live in harmony,

Re:neko creates spaces that people and cats can share more comfortably.

We design, manufacture, and sell various cat items that will make cat owners and cat lovers want them. Our company specializes in bespoke furniture. Building on this, we sell various types of cat furniture such as cat walkways, cat towers, and cat houses (Neko Chigura) produced at our own factory.
A popular product is our twenty-six-sided cat house, which also functions as a chair.
It features a stylish design to match contemporary living spaces, but also works as a hideaway perfect for cats who prefer small, dark areas.
