READS @2021our aspiration is to shape atmosphere(s) through an observant curation of art, crafts & design
we consider objects not merely as factual things, but full of perceptible futures in their co-presence with us humans
— contributing to the emergence of atmosphere;
a ‘cross-over of the material and the immaterial, forcing us to deal with the conceptually and experientially ambiguous’ *

FORM & REFINE was founded in 2018 with visions belonging to the new generation of brands dedicated to sustaining our earth and craft-cultures by carefully selecting pure materials from around the world, crafted locally to their source, using skilled traditions.
Form & Refine's core values of aesthetics, function and materials are equally balanced for high quality and long lasting products.
MOTARASU gathers Japanese and Danish designers in one brand, thereby emphasising the common design styles and traditions. Both nations have long and proud design traditions and much in common when it comes to designing beautiful and functional furniture.
MOTARASU live by the philosophy that we should surround ourselves with beautiful, quality furniture and interior that is specially selected to bring joy.
