- Designer Profile and Comments -

Sometimes people's minor gestures can suggest a design for a new age. Our goal is to create designs that people can use comfortably, enjoyably and for a long time to come.
genta designis active in a wide variety of fields, including product design for furniture, home equipment, and miscellaneous goods, as well as graphics, packing and space design.

Furoshiki is a very handy thing. But as a fashion accessory, we see it less and less these days. I designed this because I wondered if it wasn't possible to reintroduce Furoshiki into our daily lives by adding new functionality and design to this traditional item. This bag can be used by young and old alike in a variety of situations. I hope that Furoshiki bags will be transformed from a just outstanding tool to the most popular friend.
