About the collection
Kozue — A Design Inspired by Nature’s Simplicity
A small branch extending from the trunk of a tree may have once been humanity’s first coat hanger.
Inspired by this natural simplicity, Kozue combines a small shelf and mirror to create a functional yet poetic wall accessory.
Hidden magnets beneath the igusa surface securely hold keys in place, adding a touch of playfulness and interaction to everyday life.
It brings a sense of warmth and the quiet wisdom of nature into the spaces we inhabit.

When I first encountered LIN in Milan in 2019, I was immediately captivated by the beauty of the "igusa" material and LIN's innovative approach to revitalizing this traditional Japanese craft. "Igusa" is a truly unique material, with properties that are simply extraordinary. It boasts a velvet-like touch, a subtle softness, and a distinctive swishing sound when your hand glides over it.For a designer, it’s the material of dreams. The craftsmanship, tradition, and rich history behind "igusa" further inspired us to create furniture pieces that truly stand out.With this collection, we aimed to highlight the material, showcasing it as prominently as possible, making it the central focus and key element of each piece.It is both a great pleasure and an honor to contribute our designs to the LIN collection. We truly enjoy collaborating with the LIN team, whose deep understanding of quality andunwavering focus on detail make this partnership so special. This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and we are committed to helping promote "igusa" and the craftsmanship behind it, with the hope of preserving it for future generations.
