Moureaux says: “The first time I saw Tokyo, the sight of the streets overflowing with color hit me full-on, and I decided to live in Tokyo. The city was composed of many layers – the buildings of all different shape and size, the space between them, the signs, the electric wires – and within that countless colors overflowed in layer upon layer, creating a complex depth.”

“The colors and layers I sensed in Tokyo became the starting point for my design concept of “Shikiri.” As my company heads towards its tenth anniversary, I wanted to express the power of color to the full and share that sense of overflowing color.”
