Our role

Considered details.
From start to finish.

Beautiful materials begin with a thoughtful specification.

Start with a product reference, a sketch or a finished specification. We develop the details with you and prepare a quotation for the products you want to order.

We handle product selection, samples, custom specifications, your order and delivery arrangements. Your products are made in Japan to the specification agreed with us.

We work with KAMISM in Tokyo for architectural washi and TANIHATA in Toyama for kumiko woodwork. Technical and design questions are discussed directly with the people making your materials.
