Roots & Innovation

Through our long involvement in craftsmanship, using traditional techniques and machinery has the advantage of passing down long-established methods and culture—while at the same time imposing constraints on manufacturing methods and design expression.

On the other hand, new technologies enable novel designs, but can result in products that lack the essence and core we value. By drawing on the strengths of both traditional and new approaches, we are committed to creating compelling products suited to the era in which we live.
