Combing European heritage and Japanese aesthetics into timeless and functional products that last. There is minimal ornamentation, allowing the leather to be front and center. 

Dieter Rams, a renowned German industrial designer, coined 10 “principles for good design.” These are principles that we embody into our designs.

1. Innovative: Design possibilities are always expanding, and innovation offers new opportunities. 
2. Useful: Products are bought to be used, and good design emphasizes their usefulness. 
3. Aesthetic: The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness, as it affects our well-being. 
4. Understandable: Good design clarifies the product’s structure and makes it easy to understand. 
5. Unobtrusive: Products should be neutral and restrained tools, not decorative objects, leaving room for user self-expression. 
6. Honest: Good design does not make a product seem more innovative, powerful, or valuable than it truly is. 
7. Long-lasting: Good design avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. 
8. Thorough down to the last detail: Nothing should be arbitrary; everything is considered with nothing left to chance. 
9. Environmentally friendly: Good design contributes to preserving the environment and considers the product’s lifecycle. 
10. As little design as possible: It concentrates on the essential aspects and avoids burdening products with non-essentials.
