Happy New Year.

We wish you a prosperous 2026.

We are pleased to announce that, the crowd funding project by the Wajima lacquerware workshop Yamamoto Seikodo has officially launched today.

As part of this project, we were commissioned by Yamamoto Seikodo to design a side table highlighting the Wajima-nuri tray as the tabletop. This tray brings together the work of different specialized artisans, responsible for the wood base, its foundation layers, lacquer application, and final finishing. In addition, the knock-down legs were produced with the cooperation of Masterwal, a furniture brand based in Okayama.

Further details about the crowdfunding project can be found below.
Thank you.

LITTLE LIVING is a thoughtfully designed furniture series for children from age one, created to grow with them through life’s stages. While most children’s furniture is discarded as kids outgrow it, LITTLE LIVING offers lasting functionality and sustainability. Crafted primarily from warm, durable European beech, each piece is designed to nurture creativity and feel timeless in any home. Coral pink, a joyful accent, is used to enhance emotional connection while minimising material waste, covering less usable parts of the wood and turning imperfections into features. Each piece nurtures creativity while remaining timeless and harmonious in the home. By combining adaptability, sustainability, and emotional design, LITTLE LIVING enriches everyday family life and empowers young lives from the very beginning.
