Sustainable Photo Mounting & Bamboo Art Panels
Plywerk began in the dark, damp recesses of Kim Nguyen's and Kjell van Zoen's basement in Northwest Portland. Kim, a photographer, needing to mount a photo, grabbed a piece of discarded plywood from the aforementioned dark, cold--really just plain dreary--basement and glued a photo to it. A light bulb beamed from atop the self-professed frugal entrepreneur Kjell's head, temporarily blinding his wife Kim. But from that one piece of disposable wood, a sustainable Ma and Pa business was formed.
They began selling their modern and eco-conscious wares at local art walks, moving up to the big time of the Portland Saturday Market. There they met like-minded artists, fellow entrepreneurs, loyal customers, a wizard named Paul and began morphing Plywerk into what you see today.
Plywerk is a company built by eco-conscious artists. Art & photography, promoting environmental stewardship, and treating people how we like to be treated are the fundamental concerns that impact everything we do as a company.
