A Design Dialogue Across Continents
A Design Dialogue Across Continents
The historical journey that sparked a shared aesthetic between Japan and Scandinavia.
The historical journey that sparked a shared aesthetic between Japan and Scandinavia.
Every design language carries a narrative, and the story of Japandi speaks to a quiet understanding between cultures.
It unfolded in the 19th Century when, as Japan opened its borders, Danish creatives journeyed to its shores. There, a shared appreciation blossomed – a deep respect for the skill of artisans, the beauty of handcrafted objects, and the inherent elegance of natural elements. It was a kinship rooted in shared values, a quiet recognition of common ground.
This subtle yet significant exchange laid the foundation for the design movement we now know as Japandi, a testament to the beauty found when kindred spirits connect.
In Japan and Scandinavia, there’s that appreciation of things that are made by hand, made with care and made to last – Nina Tolstrup

Let's gently acknowledge the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. At Claytan, we find constant inspiration in the Earth's generous gifts, and we aspire to create products that reflect and honor its inherent beauty. This year, we especially celebrate the essential role forests play in sustaining life. Beyond providing sustenance, fuel, and livelihoods, forests nurture fertile soil, safeguard our water sources, and offer sanctuary to diverse species, including vital pollinators. They are the lifeblood of forest-dependent communities, particularly Indigenous Peoples, and contribute significantly to mitigating climate change through their natural carbon storage.
Let us remember to tread lightly and appreciate the delicate balance of our interconnected world.
