ABOUT US.

We specialise in curating and designing unique pieces sourced from local Japanese workshops, where the artisan’s craft has been passed down for generations. Our passion for craftsmanship and dedication to preserving traditional techniques allows us to bring rare, hand-selected materials to a global audience.

With a design philosophy rooted in simplicity and elegance, our aesthetic embraces a neutral palette, creating spaces that radiate considered quiet and resonant calm. We believe that a monochromatic colour palette allows rich textures and visually distinctive shapes to take centre stage, offering timeless beauty and sophistication to any environment.

While rooted in Japan’s artisanal heritage, Makani’s reach is global. With our headquarters in London and a newly established presence in Dubai, we are committed to introducing the unique artistry of Japanese craftsmanship to architects, interior designers, and clients worldwide. Our approach is intimate, yet our vision is expansive, ensuring that each piece we offer connects deeply across cultures and borders.
