In 2009, Futagami - a historic Japanese brass casting works founded in 1897 - collaborated with designer Oji Masanori, creating a range of minimalist, modern homeware items. This brought about a fusion of traditional techniques with contemporary design and function.

Take these S-shaped hooks for example - Futagami crafted them from solid sand-cast brass, leaving the crude finish so that it can age and develop added character and charm through daily use. These decorative S-shaped hooks are perfect for hanging select items of clothing, hats & accessories about the home.
