Manzo is a bedroom furniture collection that includes a wide chest of drawers, a standard chest of drawers and a nightstand.

Lesly is a series of coat racks designed for home use. The Lesly series includes a wall-mounted model and a freestanding model, both based on carbon steel for strong load bearing. Separate areas are provided for clothes and for scarves, so garments are less likely to wrinkle or slip off. The hooks of the freestanding coat rack rotate 360 degrees, which eases the hanging of clothes and accessories. Rounded forms improve safety for children. The shapes are drawn from leaves and dewdrops, and dewdrop elements act as hanging points.
This stool was inspired by the word Musubi. Musubi is an ancient Japanese Shinto concept, and it is the idea that things and life are formed by connecting various things. The shape of this stool is based on the motif of a Mizuhiki bow knot. When viewed from the front, the design is linear, but when viewed from an angle, the seat appears to have a gentle curve. When not in use, it can be folded up for compact storage. It can be easily assembled by simply inserting the parts without using nails or screws.
This is a low table made of molded cherry plywood. This table usually looks like a large cherry tree growing on the earth.

Cherry blossom is an important symbol in Japan. But cherry blossoms bloom for only about one week of the year. This table is designed with the fleeting brilliance of the Cherry blossom tree.

The piece is offered in several sizes and is shipped in eco friendly packaging.
