"SAITEKI" DESIGN = Ideal Shapes, Ideal Designes

ace. products are created under the product concept of "ideal shapes and ideal designs." These shapes and designs have a pleasing effect on people,reflecting the Japanese sense of beauty much like the pleasure felt when listening to the Japanese koto (harp). Creating these designs is like formulating silver ratios in jewelry, as it requires carefully balancing a variety of factors, such as dimensions, pocket positions,and component relationships. The designs we create are inspired by Japan's unique love of nature, formative art, and functional beauty.
