3 PILLARS
Human Focus
Qualities such as comfort and pleasing aesthetics are must-haves for us. On top of that, we strive to facilitate Human-Nature cohabitation.
Circular Materials
Our designs feature recycled materials and, once the lifetime of the product expires, we recycle the materials once again, contributing to a circular economy.
Nature Elements
By scattering Utemaru furniture across an outdoor space, we create Nature Pockets. These are small habitats for both plants and animals that help bring the biodiversity back to urban spaces.
Modularity
Program modularity
Need space for insects? Want a big tree? Perhaps a smaller bush fits best? What about accommodating rabbits? Our designs’ modules can be adapted to fit exactly your space, needs and wants.
Shape modularity
Regardless of how many programs you want to include or how many people you want to sit, we are here to help. We shape our furniture in a way that best helps you shape your outdoor space.
