What materials does Design Shoji use?
We have adapted the traditional Japanese shoji screen for use in the Western interior by building a stronger hardwood frame and by replacing the fragile rice paper insert with a variety of more durable materials. Laminated rice paper is also offered. Our panels are constructed from select hardwoods for exceptional durability, stability and strength. Although it is more difficult and time-consuming to work with these denser woods, we know you will appreciate the difference down the road. We want your panels to stand the test of time, operating smoothly and retaining their original appearance with minimal care. With premium hardwoods, the beauty of the wood and woodworking will still shine years from now.
