Hoshina

Founded in 1969, Hoshina was created by a maker who learned the art of modern furniture and comfortable living in Italy, then brought that sensibility home to Japan. Based in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, the brand blends Italian elegance with Japanese craftsmanship - a heritage you can read in pieces like the VENDOME, BLANCHE and MILAN.

Hoshina's philosophy puts people first: furniture is the supporting role that lets a home and its owner shine. Each piece is simply and durably designed - made to be maintained and repaired decades later and passed down through generations - spanning lounge chairs, modular sofas, dining chairs and coffee tables.
