- Wooden trees -
I was an art school student who looked at the trees with their leaves swaying, and was overwhelmed by each tiny leaf that existed together with the wind and light, and thought, "There's no way I could draw something like that." The trees in my memory were large, lush, and overwhelming.
But the time I spent facing the tree was peaceful, and the feeling I had back then remained even as an adult. I remembered this when I made a small Christmas tree. Of course, it could never compare to the big tree swaying in the wind, and what I had in front of me was a small ornament of a tree in a small room. But the feeling that came back to me was the serene, nostalgic, precious feeling of those days.
It may sound like an exaggeration, but I thought, wouldn't it be nice to be able to create the kind of peaceful time you get when you gaze at a tree or a landscape by placing a small tree in a familiar space?

A "wooden ornament" is a double layer of "trees." Using a tree in a large landscape that exceeds the scale of a human being, we create a landscape with a small tree in a living room. "Trees" overlap as part of the landscape on both a large and small scale. The name kiki comes from these two overlaps. It may be a name you've heard somewhere before. But if you naturally connect to the name, that's fine too. Because I think the feelings and connections put into it are more important.
We create our products with the hope that through this small tree called kiki, we can bring a sense of peace and tranquility into everyday life, similar to the sensation of gazing at a landscape.
