Nakai Mokko was founded in a furniture production area 70 years ago, and their focus has been on "folding furniture".

Nakai Mokko is located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, a nationally famous furniture production area. Fukuyama City is a furniture town located in the eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture with a 300-year history. It gained fame as a major production center for wedding furniture after World War II and still has dozens of small and large workshops today. The company was founded in 1946 and started producing wooden products starting with washboards, always following the motto of creating products that are in tune with the user's lifestyle. Later, they developed and produced original products such as chairs and recliners.

First, parts are made from the sawn timber. Initially, parts are made for each section of the bed or chair from the sawn timber. Using traditional machinery, each part is cut to shape, holes are drilled, screws are fastened, and each piece is carefully assembled one by one.

We use large machines (NC machining machines) to make the handles easier to use. The folding handles of the bed, which look like faces, are carved from solid wood to create a three-dimensional curve that is easy to hold and fold. This is achieved by using a large machine called an NC machining machine to create subtle curves. NC machining refers to a machining method using numerical control (NC), where the movement of cutting tools, such as drills, is defined by coordinate values, and the servo motors built into the machine tool move the tools or workpiece to perform the machining.

The feel of the product depends on the polishing. After processing, each part is polished before painting. This polishing process is quite important as it affects the quality of the product, including the painting, afterward, depending on the accuracy of the polishing. They polish each part carefully one by one, using various types of sandpaper repeatedly.

Each piece is hand-oiled one by one. For those finished with natural paint oil, each piece is hand-oiled and wiped off, and the process is repeated until the desired finish is achieved. It is important to wipe off the oil thoroughly, so all the work is done by hand to ensure the best results.

The final finish for the parts is electrostatic coating, which is also done one by one. The electrostatic coating is used to make the surface uniform and increase the strength of the coating. Each part is coated with paint, and then hung on the drying rails that are spread throughout the factory for slow drying. Finally, the parts are completed.

Assembly is also done one by one by hand. After the parts are painted, they are assembled by hand, connecting one part to another to gradually form the shape of the furniture. Finally, the central spring, the heart of the folding bed made by Nakai Mokko, is installed. This completes the process!

The person in charge of design is President Nakai, who is over 70 years old!

All of the folding furniture produced by Nakai Woodworking is designed by President Nakai himself, who is over 70 years old, using 3DCAD. He discusses everything with the factory staff, from the screws used in the furniture, to the springs necessary for folding, to the painting environment, and makes daily improvements. Nakai Woodworking is sometimes referred to by other furniture manufacturers in the local Fuchu area as "an invention company rather than a furniture company!" It is our pride.
