Before plastic was invented many products were created out of elaborate woodwork. The collaboration of Ecoasu Umajimura and industrial designer Takumi Shimamura blew new life into items out of thinned Japanese cheddar wood, introduced as MONACCA brand in 2003.

A good example of making an old material new again through a design impulse. Their efforts have been rewarded and we are happy to congratulate Monacca's wooden lifestyle for receiving the Good Design Award 2006 for their wooden bag.
