Established in January 2016, waji Inc. is a professional manufacturing group that brings together veteran craftsmen and young designers. The company got started when representative Hiroki Kanno, who loves antique doors, and Rui Sekine, who used to work at a glass processing factory, met.

Based on the havito brand concept of "unexpected manufacturing," Kanno and Sekine established the "glart" series, which combines real glass and leather - something they had always wanted to create.

The collection includes items that are easy to use on a daily basis and can be considered "portable artistic objects."

There is an open/close button near the doorknob. (The doorknob is decorative. Please place your finger on the button when opening and closing the door.)

The "glart" series combines stained-glass-style tempered glass with genuine leather. "Glart" is a coined word combining "glass" and "art."

The number of parts and the work involved are more than double that of similar products. Even the sewing machine was modified just to make this series. Sewing glass and leather together requires advanced skills, and only Waji's limited number of craftsmen can complete the process.

The leather used is vegetable tanned and chrome tanned cowhide.

Each piece is carefully finished by artisans who apply wax, the same wax used in horse tack. The unevenness caused by the handwork and the natural appearance of leather (blood lines, wrinkles, moles, etc.) are attractive and give the leather a unique firmness. Of course, it is also a leather that you can enjoy as it ages.

The glass was developed in collaboration with Tomi Glass, a long-established glass manufacturer in downtown Tokyo.

It is a lightweight yet durable tempered glass that took two years to develop. The glass used is specially processed at a factory that processes car headlights, etc., to ensure its strength.

Several types of core materials are combined to create the realistic look of antique doors, and special reinforcement processing techniques ensure safety.
