IYOBE's furniture making process is almost fully done by hand, combining traditional techniques

with the most up to date technology.

Through the chair-making process, we are able to witness IYOBE's commitment.

The lumber comes from suppliers around the world. It is carefully

selected for hardness, size, color, and wood grain.

Once selected, the lumber is processed. The appropriate

processing machine is chosen so as to increase efficiency.

it is given to a
craftsman who hand
curves it with a plane.

Fabric is used for the seat and back of a chair. The cloth is cut
according to the chair's design. When cow hide is used, visual
inspection is done to check for imperfections. This part of the
process is also accomplished by hand.

Assembling the chair parts. They are put together so as to match

the patterns and stitch work. Our craftsman put in a superior
effort to create a fine quality product in each step of the process,
from the lumber processing on. The upholstery process alone

takes 2 days.

Each craft is visually inspected, carefully making sure it is

up to standards of quality and comfort.

IYOBE's chair making does not end at simply constructing the

product. To ensure our customers' comfort and satisfaction, we
carry out many inspections. Once the chair has passed
inspections, it is ready to go to the clients' home.
