Time & Style established the company in 1990, offering a wide range of product, from furniture, lighting equipment, tableware, to small accessories. These are all original products created from the consistent concept of the company.
In 2008, Time & Style’s own factory in Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, was set up to pursue the essential nature of manufacturing. Nine years later, Time & Style set a sawmill and timber dryer and start buying raw wood from the domestic forest. All the processes are under care, from the design and production to the sales in their own stores. The products are manufactured in their own factory, as well as subcontract factories across Japan, and each product is carefully manufactured with the full attention of the artisans. The delicate finish delivers the warmth of materials directly through the five senses, which is beyond the ability of machines. Leaving traces of handwork and sensibility in the finish is the fundamental essence in creating global value from Japan.
Many traditional industries remain throughout Japan. This country has the wisdom about living and craft based on the beliefs that have been accumulated by many of our forerunners, and Time & Style tries to reconsider the unique traditional Japanese culture. Especially, retranslating the essence of Japanese traditional value into modern lifestyle is one of the themes to create products. Time & Style works with over 100 artisans to produce high-end products with the craft traditions such as, sand casting, Japanese washi paper, wood working, ceramic, porcelain, glass. The collaborated work with many rural manufacturers and artisans throughout Japan creates Time & Style’s product collection.
