What is “Furo Project”?

Japan is a country rich of nature, with many elements and resources, cultures and arts that are famous in the whole word.
Moreover, with those elements Japanese people have created many artistic crafts and have inserted them in the everyday life. In these things is contained the spirit of the ancient knowledge and the art of the craftsmen, and also the heart that Japanese people have inherited.
Now, we have united the powers of two designers that represent the contemporary Japan, Ryu Kosaka and Yukio Hashimoto, and by them we want to spread in the world the concept of “a brilliant life with furo” that Japanese people have inherited till now and we want to introduce this “new project” that will build the future.

We started our project in November 2007 with the exhibition “IPEC Interior Pro EX CO 2007”at the Tokyo Big Site, and in April 2008 we went on taking part to the Milano Salone in Milan.
Our hope is that this project could bring to the people of the world the rich life of Furo and that a peaceful and mild life can spread in the world; moreover, we hope that this project could expand itself as a “project of tomorrow” based on the Japanese culture and the materials of its regions: we hope that this project can become a forerunner of the projects which apply the traditional arts of the Japanese regions.
