Our practice

Making Objects

Shaping light for the life to come through hands and skill

Three lighting works displayed in a historic Japanese room

Rooted in the materials, skills and aesthetic traditions of Kyoto and Japan, we work across craft, form, design and technology. By bringing handwork together with digital fabrication, we explore lighting, furniture and everyday objects designed to be cherished for years.
