“I weigh form, function and quality as equally balanced parts of good design.” – Lars Vejen
MOTARASU was founded in Denmark in 2019 by Mikkel Zebitz. Like many other Danes before him, Mikkel was inspired by the distinct Japanese design and aesthetics. But where classic Danish design icons as well as contemporary designers to a wide extent merely have let Japan act as an inspiration, Mikkel wanted to change this – “motarasu” means “to change” in Japanese – by uniting the designers of the two nations to create contemporary design together.
Art and nature are the key elements in all of MOTARASU designs and the end-result are poetic, tactile and functional objects. MOTARASU works out of the showroom in Copenhagen with private clients, architects, galleries, and high-end retailers internationally.
“There is a clear common thread in the design style of Japan and Denmark, both nations focusing on the beauty of raw materials, quality and a simplistic philosophy. I wanted to establish a platform for designers from both countries to be able to inspire and be inspired by each other.” – Mikkel Zebitz
