Analogue Life focuses primarily on contemporary Japanese housewares. Whether mass produced, or handmade by artisans or craftsman, the emphasis is on simplicity , functionality and plain old good design.
It used to be not long ago that if we mentioned Japanese design, it immediately conjured images of lacquer bowls, tatami mats, shoji screens and ukiyoe prints. Those things are all great. But contemporary Japanese designers working sometimes in collaboration with traditional craftmen have applied the traditions of simplicity, elegance, and harmony beyond those, to a variety of household goods. Analogue Life hopes to offer international customers a range of well crafted, well designed products that reflects what is being designed and produced today.
Analogue Life does carry some items from outside Japan. George Peterson's exceptional, hand turned wood bowls and Kirsten Hectermanns beautiful hand carved wood spoons from Kenya (via London), to name a few.
