Yumiko loves intriguing visuals and draws inspiration from the search for the perfect.
She makes samples with brass, copper, silver or wax, wearing test pieces to fully understand how they sit. Drawing on her years of design experience for others she uses old and new techniques without boundaries. In her second year of business, all designs are new, focusing on excellent quality and attention to detail, most importantly ensuring that pieces are made to last both through making and design.
