DUENDE
Launched in 2002, this Japanese product label offers interior design that brings narrative to spaces and enriches everyday life, with the motto "Art Furniture that Nurtures Time." The brand collaborates with product designers from Japan and abroad to create furniture and accessories with an "artistic feel" that are both comfortable to use and beautiful to look at. Their signature product, the "BENT STOOL," is a lightweight stool that won a Good Design Award. Made with curved steel and an aluminum seat, it's sturdy, portable, and stackable for easy storage. Other notable products include the "STEEL STORAGE WAGON (storage and workbench)," "MARGE SHELF (shelf designed by Keiji Ashizawa)," and "TONG LIGHT (lighting that creates a play of light and shadow)," all of which combine functional beauty with abstract aesthetics.
