In traditional Japanese homes, deep eaves linked the interior with the garden; from the dim rooms inside, residents admired the bright garden and spent the evenings by lamplight. Human life unfolded within such spaces for many centuries. there are materials and furnishings whose beauty and comfort can only be fully appreciated in the half-light. We feel that by drawing on these traditions as well as on the natural sensibility of the Japanese, by incorporating many materials and furnishings imbued with the warmth of things made by hand, it is possible to create truly restful environments.
