Quiet Surface power
There is a stillness to Japanese tiles—a refined restraint that carries immense depth. As global interest in this centuries-old craft continues to grow, we’re reminded of what drew us to it in the first place: the quiet power of surfaces shaped by hand, fire, and tradition.
In a recent How to Spend It feature, the Financial Times explores the vision of architect Toru Shimokawa, whose work blends raw texture with clarity of form—reinterpreting heritage through a contemporary lens. It’s a language we understand deeply at Makani.
We work alongside our skilled Japanese craftsmen, ensuring a variety of design elements, with each piece featuring unique expression through intricate textures and glazing. From tactile floor tiles to luminous glazes, each piece is rooted in material integrity and crafted with care.
We collaborate on bespoke designs for architectural and interior projects, offering tailored, studio-led solutions grounded in aesthetic rigour and a deep respect for craft.
