ISLANDS IN BLOOM – MELBOURNE DESIGN WEEK 2025

Join us May 17 and 18, 2025 at Corky Saint Clair

For Melbourne Design Week 2025, we’ve created a collection inspired by the flora and natural world of 沖縄 (Okinawa). Each piece draws on botanical textures, organic forms, and the layered landscapes of these southern islands.

At the heart of this collection are 再結晶のエメラルド (recrystallised emeralds) — gemstones we sourced in January 2025 at the Tokyo Gem Fair. These lab-grown stones are formed from fragments of natural Colombian emeralds, transforming material that would normally be discarded into something luminous, structured, and enduring.

We’ve paired these gems with traditional hand-carving techniques, reworking age-old craft into new, sustainable forms.

This is a study in renewal: of material, of process, of design.
