yuruliku -About Us-

[ Japanese ]

About

"yuruliku" is a creative unit, by designers Kohshi Ikegami and Kinue Ohneda. We are in search of new styles in stationery that can make everyone feel happy.

"yuruliku" was named by combining the words "yururi", which means "relaxing", with "yukkuri", which means "slowly", in Japanese.
We are particular about "things" and "objects" we love. In times we may hang around on the way but we would always like to be in-depths on creating "objects" we love.

yuruliku's works are based on a theme "little humor" found in everyday life. We cherish the importance to express "enjoyment" "simplicity" and "fresh discovery" in our works.

We hope that our works lead to delightful conversation between people, and that yuruliku's works offer happiness and that that happiness spreads beyond.
