The word “amplitude” simultaneously expresses ideas of richness, depth, and range. By making use of artisanal techniques and materials unique to Japan, we offer a new form of richness.
The skills of Japanese artisans and the materials that they work with have been cultivated over many years. For this reason, they do not just embody functionality and beauty; they also express culture and thought. We do not simply inherit these skills and materials as “tradition.” Instead, we recompose them into the texture of contemporary buildings, interiors, and products, thereby creating a new sense of value for this craftsmanship, in which it can live and breathe together with new spaces and ways of living.
We connect Kyoto’s artisans and crafts to contemporary design, bringing out the possibilities that exist within these traditional techniques and materials. Based on our deep understanding of materials and methods, we participate in every stage of production, from conceptualization and planning; selecting materials and styles; and the creative direction of production in close collaboration with artisans.
- Interior Design
- We design spaces for a wide range of purposes, including residential, commercial, and exhibition spaces. Balancing functionality with aesthetic refinement, we offer spatial experiences based on a clear concept.
- Product Design
- We design furniture, fixtures, artworks, and other elements that make up a space. Placing utmost importance on the relationship with their surrounding environment, we offer objects that complement and reinforce the overall atmosphere of the space.
- Design Consulting
- Engaging with projects from their earliest stages, we also offer design direction services, encompassing concept development and brand building. We support everything from clarifying an overall direction to the translation of ideas into concrete forms.
