A slow kind of love
If there's one thing we know about the tradition of Japanese craftsmanship, it's its meticulous, almost painstaking quality. I remember, some years ago, discovering – via modernist heroine Eileen Gray's designs – the time, effort and precision involved in genuine lacquerwork, for example. Japanese making and producing has meditation baked in.
Almost 30 years in business, manufacturer Ritzwell has, from the outset, endeavoured to marry the best of Japanese craft with modern technology. The result: furniture designs, strong on precision woodworking and upholstery, that combine durability with an intangible emotional quality. Pieces that touch us when we touch them.
