MOTARASU

MOTARASU, exclusively available at Skandium, gathers Japanese and Danish designers in one brand, thereby emphasising the common design styles and traditions. Both nations have long and proud design traditions and a lot in common when it comes to designing beautiful and functional furniture. At MOTARASU, they live by the philosophy that we should surround ourselves with beautiful, quality furniture and interior that is specially selected to bring joy.

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.
