Atelier ao Letter #01: Exploring the new possibilities of natural stones, together with all of you.

2026.10.20

To everyone in the stone industry & those involved in architecture, interior design, and landscape design

 Thank you for your continued support.
This is the inaugural issue of the Atelier ao newsletter, starting this month.

Once a month, we will be delivering information related to stone, including the appeal of natural stone, new ways to utilize it, and the creation of original products.

Unlocking the possibilities of stone, more freely.

 Natural stones, such as Iyo blue stone, possess unique expressions where no two pieces are the same.

By embracing these individual characteristics, we propose new forms and applications that go beyond conventional boundaries.

Connecting stone materials to new proposals.

For example: vanity counters, fixtures, display stands, flower vases, bookends, and more.

By creatively utilizing different types of stone, shapes, finishes, and processing methods, we can craft original products that showcase the true appeal of natural stone.

CUSTOM MADE|Inquiries regarding custom processing and original production 

"I want to create an original product using this stone."
"I want to process it into a shape that meets my client's request."

We hope to expand the new appeal and possibilities of natural stone together with those in the stone industry.
