Porter-Yoshida & Co.

Peak Design creates thoughtfully engineered carry solutions driven by a mission to 'make the best things' without compromising on ethics or sustainability. Founded on Kickstarter, the company prioritizes innovative quick-release mechanisms, modular systems, and intuitive hardware that allows rapid access while maintaining security. Their products emphasize functional versatility, weatherproof durability, and the belief that great gear should be both beautiful and practical.

Mission Workshop builds gear as tough as it is beautiful, combining military-spec construction with clean urban aesthetics. Founded in San Francisco by Chrome co-founder Mark Falvai, they focus on weatherproof performance while maintaining a design language appropriate for cycling, travel, and daily urban life.

Paris-born brand where architecture meets fashion. Each design begins with geometric surfaces that are folded, twisted, and stitched into sculptural volumes, transforming flat materials into organic, cocoon-like silhouettes. Côte&Ciel creates bags to wear, not just carry - wearable sculptures that balance innovative fabrics with architectural forms.

Snow Peak Apparel embodies functional minimalism inspired by the Japanese tradition of communing with nature. Founded by Lisa Yamai in 2014 as an extension of the iconic camping brand, the line merges fashion with outdoor functionality, enabling seamless transitions between urban and natural environments. The clothing prioritizes simple cuts, subdued colors, and technical fabrics.

Postalco creates tools that feel invisible in use - so well-designed that they allow you to focus on the task at hand rather than the tool itself. Founded in Brooklyn in 2000 and now based in Tokyo for over 20 years, they embody 'mottainai' (the Japanese philosophy of minimizing waste) while applying traditional Japanese craftsmanship to everyday objects. Their products are designed to be used by anyone and reveal their beauty through daily use.

MUJI embodies 'emptiness' rather than minimalism - a philosophy developed by art director Kenya Hara that focuses on creating products that are 'sufficiently good' without excess. Born from the Japanese concept of Mujirushi Ryohin ('no-brand quality goods'), the brand rejects traditional branding in favor of careful material selection, streamlined processes, and simplified packaging to create timeless, universal products.
