Overview
IRIS FR (irisohyama.fr) is the French-language e-commerce and brand site of IRIS OHYAMA, the Japanese household-solutions group founded in 1958. The site presents IRIS OHYAMA as a "world leader in everyday-life solutions" and sells a broad range of home products: storage boxes and organisers, indoor furniture for adults and children, small electrical appliances, pet accessories, hygiene products, and kitchen, bathroom, garage and garden accessories. A dedicated online boutique lets French customers buy items directly, with prices shown in euros including VAT. The French operation is positioned as part of a global group rather than a standalone company. The site highlights "over 60 years of experience" and states that products are designed in Japan, while also promoting ranges "Made in France" and "Made in Europe" for part of its catalogue. Product families are organised under sub-brands: IRIS HEALTHCARE for hygiene and well-being (with surgical masks as a best-seller), WOOZOO by OHYAMA for small appliances, IRIS PETS for animal accessories, and IRIS KIDS for children's storage and furniture. Storage — especially transparent plastic boxes, which the group says it pioneered — remains a core expertise. IRIS FR serves as the group's French storefront and brand-communication channel, covering both direct-to-consumer sales and information about the wider IRIS OHYAMA range. Its assortment spans low-cost everyday items such as clothes hangers and litter trays through to multi-purpose storage boxes and furniture, reflecting the group's "simple, practical, fun and good value" positioning. The site also communicates the group's quality, safety and environmental commitments, including reusable and durable products and the use of recycled plastic in production. Because IRIS FR is a country-facing brand/site of IRIS OHYAMA rather than a separately incorporated public company, ownership sits with the IRIS OHYAMA Group in Japan. Leadership of the group is represented by Chairman Kentaro Ohyama and President Akihiro Ohyama, described on the French site as father and son.
History
IRIS FR is the French-facing brand and online store of IRIS OHYAMA, a Japanese group founded in 1958. The French site states that IRIS OHYAMA has "over 60 years of experience" and has developed "solutions for everyday life" since 1958, designing products in Japan and distributing them internationally. The group describes itself as a family company and a world leader in everyday-life solutions. A defining moment in the group's product history, recounted on the French site, came in 1989: IRIS OHYAMA developed the world's first transparent storage boxes, responding to consumers' frustration at not being able to see inside opaque storage boxes. The company says this innovation "changed the whole storage culture" and established its expertise in storage and durable plastic boxes. From its Japanese base, the group expanded into Europe, the USA, China, Korea and Southeast Asia, spreading its "Comfortable Living" concept. The French operation, presented at irisohyama.fr, functions as the group's French storefront and brand channel. It sells directly to consumers through an online boutique and organises its range around several sub-brands: IRIS HEALTHCARE for hygiene and well-being (with surgical masks as a best-seller), WOOZOO by OHYAMA for small electrical appliances, IRIS PETS for pet accessories, and IRIS KIDS for children's storage and furniture. The site also promotes storage, indoor furniture, and kitchen, bathroom, garage and garden accessories. The French site emphasises local production for part of its ranges, advertising products "Fabriqués en France" (Made in France) and "Made in Europe", alongside the group's Japanese design heritage. It also communicates the group's quality, safety and environmental commitments, noting that 46% of its plastic production is recycled and that it develops reusable and durable products. Leadership of the group is represented on the French site by Chairman Kentaro Ohyama and President Akihiro Ohyama, described as father and son.
