Conventional real wood sheet is not flexible and can't be curved or bent. Therefore, its application is limited to flat use for building and furniture. It could be wrapped around on the solid surface, but is often coated by plastics or films to protect from chipping or cracking, resulting the loss of natural look and feel.

We have developed new real wood sheet together with Ryukoku University to overcome with these limitation of real wood sheet. That is our Flexible Natural Wood Sheet , "Sewable Wood".

• With beautiful wood grain
• Won't crack when bent
• Maintains the texture of real wood

Real wood is thinly sliced, impregnated with resins, and backed with backing materials such as Japanese papers and non-woven fabrics. By doing these processes, real wood sheet becomes flexible and durable without losing its natural look and feel. This real wood sheet is flexible and durable enough for repeat bending and even sewing. "Sewable Wood" overcomes the limitation of wood, and is capable to many applications.

Flexible Natural Wood Sheet, Tennâge® is patented in Japan and U.S.A.

The technology of making real wood into flexible sheet can be used in almost all wood species. Currently, we have 76 different wood species available. Since it is a real wood, there is no exactly same wood sheet with the same wood grains. However, each wood species has its wood grain type and color. Below are the example of wood species that we currently carry.
