This collection collaborated with the Kaizawa sculptural workshop where they have designed and carved a contemporary Ainu motif representing the eyes of the Blakiston Fish Owl, a symbol of protection for the Ainu people.

The Ainu owl motif has been echoed in the collection's white clay ceramic designs, which are cast and hand-finished by specialists in the Veneto region, Italy. The decorative Herbal Wardrobe has a friendly, organic shape with the combination of white ceramic and natural beech wood. The troughs are designed to house an arrangement of different sized plant pots. This allows a growth of different herbs to achieve a visual and aromatic effect that evokes the restorative experience of walking through a herb garden. See less
