I have always been inclined to avoid conventional design, opting for a unique approach to every facet of life. It's when solutions take on a distinctive character that I find them captivating.
Ashiyane was born from a deep self-reflection, sparked by the question of why fruit bowls and containers seemed perpetually trapped in an unchanging mold. Rather than simply proposing a fruit holder, I felt a profound urge to re-envision its very essence.

Our home fosters this avian haven, and the gentle sounds of twig-by-twig nest-building and the chirping of newborns drew my focus to avian nests, influencing my design sketches. This piece serves as a reminder of the memories forged in our home throughout the years.
