Reiko started the company in 2005 experimenting with humour and playfulness, looking into how to raise a smile through functional and everyday products. As relationships with British manufacturers and craftsmen developed, an awareness of quality grew, and now enjoys a great working relationship with manufacturers which has helped build the company and reliably supply clients and customers.
This all started at Kingston Art Foundation where a new world of three dimensional design opened up and an offer to study a more conventional degree at UCL was quickly dismissed and continued on to Central Saint Martins.
