Wood Works Imprint von Masayuki Koitabashi für Motarasu

MOTARASU creates designs that call for being present in the now. Fusing the design heritage of Denmark with the aesthetics of Japanese craftsmanship, efforts are focused on the philosophy of surrounding yourselves with few yet beautiful, high-quality objects that bring joy. MOTARASU was founded in Denmark in 2019 by Mikkel Zebitz. Like many other Danes before him, Mikkel was inspired by the distinct Japanese design and aesthetics. But where classic Danish design icons as well as contemporary designers to a wide extent merely have let Japan act as an inspiration, Mikkel wanted to change this (“Motarasu” means “to change” in Japanese) by uniting the designers of the two nations to create a contemporary design together. Art and nature are the key elements in all of MOTARASU's designs and the end result is poetic, tactile, and functional objects. MOTARASU works out of their showroom in Frederiksgade, Copenhagen with private clients, architects, galleries, and high-end retailers Internationally.
