"This bowl series perfectly represents what excites me about the future of product creation. Designed through a collaboration between GATO Woodwork’s long-loved craftsmanship and forward-thinking material innovation, MIRAIWOOD® is made from upcycled industrial wood waste blended with biodegradable resin certified as Biomass 70. The result is a 100% recyclable, circular resource that is beautifully designed and deeply thoughtful. Using zelkova wood by-products generated during GATO’s production, these bowls feel like a meaningful step toward responsible design for the next generation." - Yuka Morihata
