I’m excited to share that the steel object series “Moment” is now available at LIVING MOTIF in Roppongi, Tokyo, which reopened on April 2nd. All six pieces from the collection are on display and available in-store and online. Each piece has been beautifully styled alongside the shop’s carefully curated furniture. If you’re in the area, I invite you to stop by and look!
