TI-1 Cutlery by Takenobu Igarashi
Unlike standard cutlery, which primarily features stainless steel, the TI-1 series has a chrome finish that creates a mirror-like effect. Designed by Takenobu Igarashi in 1990, the series remains remarkably contemporary in both aesthetics and functionality.
Bring the Calm to Your Home
Hinoki Essentials
Hinoki wood is a type of cypress tree native to Japan, known for its light color, smooth texture, and gentle, natural fragrance. It has been used for centuries in traditional Japanese architecture, baths, and tools because of its durability and resistance to moisture. Hinoki wood creates a calming, forest-like atmosphere, making it perfect for bringing a sense of peace and nature into your home.
ALONGU – Timeless Craftsmanship from Hasami
While perfection and uniformity are often expected in porcelain, ALONGU values natural variations—such as black iron spots, glaze irregularities, and subtle marks—not as flaws, but as unique expressions of each piece’s character.
