Workshop
— 02 / Story

Twelve years of visiting the same workshops.

KIOKO began as a notebook — Erik's, actually, during a 2014 residency in Kyoto. Sketches of ceramic bowls from a third-generation potter in Hasami. A linen throw from a 90-year-old mill outside the city. A wooden tray from a workshop with one employee (the owner).

Twelve years later, we work with 18 of those same makers. Some have grown. Most haven't. All of them answer the phone when we call.

"We don't believe in faster. We believe in better — and waiting for it."

Naoko runs the Kyoto studio. Erik runs the Copenhagen office. Between the two of us, we ship to 42 countries — directly, no agents, no trading floors. You speak with us. Always.

Three things we won't compromise on.

Everything else — pricing, packaging, lead times — we can negotiate. These three, never.

— i.

Material first.

If we can't trace where it came from, we won't sell it. Linen from fields we know. Wood from forests managed by people we'd recognize. Ceramic from clay dug within sight of the kiln.

— ii.

Made by hands.

No factory lines. No automation theater. Every object passes through human hands at least four times before it reaches a box. It's slower. It's also why our defect rate stays below 0.3%.

— iii.

Pay the makers fairly.

Our workshops keep 62% of the wholesale price. Industry average is closer to 18%. The difference shows up in the object — and in the next generation deciding whether to stay in the trade.
