Michael’s years spent living and working in Japan have significantly influenced his approach to aesthetics and design.
The studio’s Japanese name, OMOTE URA, loosely translates to “front” and “back.”
This name emphasizes the idea that beyond what is immediately apparent, thoughtful design considers all the subtle details and hidden facets.
These may not initially attract attention but are intended to be discovered and appreciated through use and over the long term.
