From Soaked T-Shirts to Cosmic Latte: Why the Universe is Beige (and Why Our Showroom Matches It)
I begin with the humiliating question my 10-year-old sister posed: "Why do clothes look darker when wet?" (Answer: low optical reflectance.) This leads to the ultimate color question: What is the color of the universe? The answer, discovered 20 years ago, is beige—scientifically dubbed Cosmic Latte.

The Perfectly Imperfect Ball Pit: Turning Furniture Waste into Eco-Friendly Fun
The ball pit is a classic Japanese childhood memory, especially from the old rooftop department store playgrounds. We created an elevated version using high-quality hardwood waste from our furniture production.
