Adding color to one aspect of your life
The name "MENN" comes from the Japanese word "men," which means the surface or face of an object or one aspect of something.
MENN make your time at home more special.
I hope it will be a gentle addition to your life.
The beginning of MENN
Furniture and tools that are loved for a long time in daily life include
a deep dialogue with the space and materials.
MENN was born from such conversations.
When I was looking for a side table to go with my favorite sofa that I used every day, I realized the importance of "feeling" and "texture" that cannot be achieved with ready-made products.
I needed the one which blend in with the space and never gets old for me.
We believe in the power of the material itself, including its texture, weight, and even its reflection of light.
By carefully dealing with natural materials,
The manufacturing has begun.
The visit a marble craftsman's workshop
was the first step to make it myself.
This is the origin of MENN.
Our Mission
To give beauty to unused, sleeping marble and breathe new life into it.
Not all of the marble imported as a building material is used, and much of the surplus stone is crushed and discarded. We were deeply concerned about the reality that this beautiful material, which the Earth has created over thousands of years, is being discarded without serving any purpose.
At MENN, we select the most beautiful stones one by one from those left in the factory.
By giving new uses to stones that would otherwise be discarded, we aim to rediscover the value of materials and take a step towards a sustainable future.
Commitment to natural marble
We cannot reproduce artificially,
We are committed to the beauty of natural marble.
It is a unique material created by the earth over a long period of time.
The soft texture and depth created by nature, and the beautiful changes that occur over time, have a charm that artificial materials cannot match.
Each piece has a unique pattern and texture, making it a one-of-a-kind piece. Adding the craftsmanship of the artisans to this adds to the richness of the stone's inherent individuality.
Natural marble, expensive and not accessible material, can now be made more accessible for everyone.
Our challenge is to tell the value of materials.
CRAFTMANSHIP
MENN items are made with attention to detail, thanks to the skills that Japanese marble craftsmen have cultivated over many years.
Although the marble itself is imported from all over the world,
all products are carefully crafted one by one by skilled artisans in a strictly controlled environment in workshops in Japan.
FAIR PRICING
Natural marble is often perceived as being expensive and difficult to obtain.
MENN uses natural marble that is already available in the country, reducing transportation and material costs.
We hope that more people will be able to enjoy the charm of natural marble more easily.
Enjoy Your Life with MENN!
