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.
Your Furniture, Your Choice
Foundational
Our foundational pieces bring biodiversity and sustainability at an accessible price point for all organizations.
Enhanced
We ensure these pieces are enhanced with brand-aligned features and space-specific modules.
Tailored
Want something more curated? Our designers will work alongside you to deliver distinct pieces tailored exactly to your taste.
