"I want a marble table that will fit perfectly in this space."
"Can you make a vase in a size that I can't find off the shelf?"
STUDIO MENN receives a variety of orders every day.
In order to respond to such requests, we carefully listen to each and every inquiry and work closely with them to give shape to their ideas .
On this page, we will introduce the custom-made process used by STUDIO MENN and what makes it so appealing.
A conversation that begins with, "What kind of stone do you want?"
A custom order begins with a single inquiry .
We will work together to find the right material and shape by listening to your image, such as "I want it to be this size" or "I want to place it in this kind of space."
Although marble is a general term, there are many different types of stone.
The colors vary in appearance and texture, from Bianco Carrara and Arabescato (Italy) with their striking black marbled pattern on a white background, to Serpentine (Greece) with its beautiful deep green, to rich black, and transparent pink and beige.
At STUDIO MENN, we also handle serpentine and quartz, which are not considered marble in the academic sense.
Even if the type of stone is decided, the pattern and color intensity will vary from one stone to another.
Therefore, if you wish, we can take several photos of the candidate stones and show them to you .
"I like this stone, but I prefer a slightly lighter pattern."
"I'm going to put it in this space, so I want it to be this size."
Through this process, we work together to find the compatibility between the stone and the space , which is a distinctive feature of STUDIO MENN's orders.
We will also think about the design together with you.
When ordering, we not only select the stones but also fine-tune the design to suit various uses.
From marble tables reminiscent of overseas interiors, to tabletops for wine cellars, to one-of-a-kind items such as uniquely designed candle holders and vases, we will suggest shapes and balances based on your desired image and purpose.
Some clients simply want to adjust the size of a MENN standard product, while others work together to create an idea from scratch.
We value the process of "creating together" while carefully explaining the properties of the stone and the range of processing that can be done.
Actual order examples
- Greek restaurant " THE APOLLO GINZA ": Three candle holders of different sizes - Made of white marble to match the color of the restaurant's tables. They are stable and designed to accommodate both thick and thin candles.
・Personal home N Block table
→ We selected a white marble with a slightly beige pattern. Its weight is utilized to make it less likely to tip over. Mr. N posted about his experience ordering from MENN on Instagram .
What all of our projects have in common is that we are giving shape to what is best for each individual, born out of dialogue with our customers.

We will decide on the shape and dimensions, and if necessary, we will also provide you with simple sketches and diagrams.
3. Production begins → Depending on the design, it may take 2 to 4 weeks to process the stone.
4. Delivery and product confirmation → Payment → After delivery, you can check the finished product in the photo and then make payment.
"Developing the work together"
At STUDIO MENN, we do not simply consider an order to be the "production of a custom-made product," but rather a form of "collaboration."
The finished product may indeed be inorganic, made of stone.
But within it resides the time of the stone, your thoughts, and the traces of our hands .
The more you use it, the more you look at it, the more the stone will grow into something that is "your own."
I hope to be able to deliver that kind of experience.
