A philosophy I was attracted to between 2004-2008 when Japanese design through Muji, was shaping the design scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe idea of the unknown designer\/maker, producing honest, stripped to bare, no fancy, no frills products was mind-blowing and complete antithesis of consumerism today. So, as we mature as a label, I was hoping to carry a range of Japanese crafts that showcases the innate beauty of material.
