MATERIAL STORY


Recycled Brass / Crafted in Japan

A Quiet Presence of Nature in Everyday Life

Each Vita Ramus piece is carefully handcrafted in Japan.
We incorporate recycled brass into our production wherever possible, while maintaining the balance between quality, durability, and beauty.

The Subtle Character of Handcrafted Work

Every piece is shaped by hand, resulting in slight variations that cannot be replicated by machines.
These differences are not imperfections, but unique expressions that reflect the beauty of nature and the individuality of craftsmanship.

Rather than creating products designed for short-term consumption, we strive to create objects that become more meaningful over time and naturally become part of everyday life.

Crafted to Age Beautifully.

Each Vita Ramus piece is carefully crafted in Japan using brass, with approximately 20% recycled brass currently incorporated into production.

Our brass pieces are intentionally left unplated to preserve the material's natural character. Over time, the surface develops a rich patina, evolving alongside its surroundings and the life of its owner.

MATERIAL

Craftsmanship Begins with Respect for Materials

Approximately 20% of the brass used in Vita Ramus products is currently sourced from recycled material.

Rather than replacing all materials at once, we carefully introduce recycled brass while maintaining the strength, workability, and beauty required for each piece.

Our goal is not simply to speak about sustainability, but to incorporate it into our manufacturing process in a practical and lasting way.

As material stability continues to improve, we aim to gradually increase the proportion of recycled brass used in our production.

BRASS AGING

The Beauty of Brass,
Left Untouched

To preserve the authentic texture of the material, Vita Ramus brass products are generally left unplated.

Brass naturally changes over time through exposure to air and touch.

Its bright golden tone gradually develops into a deeper, more refined patina reminiscent of antique brass.

We see this transformation not as deterioration, but as a form of beauty that grows alongside everyday life.
