OUR MISSION
Revival of the Beauty of Marble
We are on a mission to breathe new life and beauty into marble offcuts.
This mission was born out of an awareness of the marble waste issue.
In the substantial importation of marble as a construction material, not all of it finds utility, resulting in a surplus.
Unfortunately, this surplus is often pulverised and discarded.
Confronted with the wasted resource, a gift from the Earth, being mined and then discarded, we endeavour to challenge this status quo.
Even marble that has lost its initial purpose remains abundantly beautiful,
with larger pieces found within the array at the factory.
We meticulously select the most beautiful pieces and, with the skilled hands of our artisans, craft them into something new.
By addressing this industry issue, we aim to commit to sustainability measures.

Make genuine marble accessible
Genuine marble is often perceived as luxurious, and many may find it daunting.
However, we eliminate not only the importing cost of marble products but also the need to import new marble altogether by using local craftsmanship.
This allows us to minimise material expenses and complete our products relying solely on processing fees.
As a result, we can offer genuine marble at an affordable price.
It is our ambition to use genuine marble in the range of products which will be accessible to a wider audience.

Aim for lean use of resources
Even when utilising discarded marble, the process of cutting and polishing the heavy material is both labour and cost-intensive.
Additionally, rather than making our products from imported new marble, we choose stones from the limited discarded marble in domestic factories, which makes mass production difficult.
These factors are the primary reasons why the utilisation of discarded marble faces challenges.
On the flip side, choosing from various types of stones rather than sticking to a typical variety offers a wonderful opportunity to discover stones that are not often seen.
We believe that we can solve the issue of marble waste by increasing the quality and value of our products.

天然大理石へのこだわり
日本に流通している大理石製品は
超高級品 or 人工大理石やシート
に二極化しているように思え、
それは天然大理石が高価であることが
主な理由だと考えています。
しかし、そこに私たちは挑戦しています。
なぜなら、
人工大理石ではなく天然大理石の
美しさを知ることに
意味があると信じているからです。
天然大理石は、
地球の歴史により生み出された石で、
人工大理石にはない、自然ならではの
柔らかい風合いがあります。
そこに、職人による研磨が
石の美しい表情を引き出すのです。
また、それぞれが
他にはない模様を持っており、
2つとして同じものはありません。
美しくエイジングもします。
そんな不完全さも、
大地が作り出した
天然物であることの証拠なのです。
There seems to be a polarisation in the marble products available in Japan, leaning towards either "ultra-luxurious" or "artificial marble and sheets." This is primarily attributed to the high cost of natural marble. However, we are taking on this challenge because we believe there is significance in appreciating the beauty of natural marble, not its artificial substitutes. Natural marble is created by Earth's long history, possessing a unique colour and soft texture that artificial marble lacks. Craftsmen enhance the stone's beautiful expressions through careful polishing, resulting in a vibrant finish. Moreover, each piece has distinctive patterns, ensuring that no two are alike. Furthermore, natural marble ages gracefully, and its imperfections serve as proof of its origin as a creation of the Earth.
