About Ph.D.
We are introducing early modern furniture of around the world, mainly in Finland. And we restore and upholstery by ourself in our studio at country side of Japan. We understand the designer's intentions and approach furniture with our accumulated technology and knowledge. At the studio, we have received many requests for furniture restoration and reupholstery, and we have earned the trust of many clients. Our creativity is diverse, creating upcycled art pieces that make things out of trash.
