Ichiro creates in-house blends for the paints used in its polyester plywood, "demonstrating a consistent dedication to supplying the right color that involves a willingness to custom-tint even single sheets" explains Torafu.

The concept for the Ichiro-iro series is that of "tools for the real you" - "iro" being the Esperanto word for "tool". The first items in the series are the Koloro-desk and Koloro-stool.

"Koloro" is also an Esperanto word, meaning color, and the koloro pieces have been designed to make optimum use of the vibrant polyester decorative plywood at which Ichiro excels.
