A Long-Standing Futon Manufacturer Joins Forces with Kazuhiro Aihara

The brand FUTONSTAR has been launched, centered around six long-established Japanese futon manufacturers, with futon makers and artisans collaborating with creators and artists to create and sell bedding from a completely new perspective.

Kazuhiro Aihara, active in fields such as posters and advertisements, serves as the artistic director, and the first collection features a variety of unprecedentedly novel futons.

"ASG GRAND" is a unique circular futon designed for sleeping in a spread-eagle position. It is characterized by bold graphics inspired by the nature of Yamagata. Of course, traditional techniques and the latest technology are also utilized, pursuing a comfortable sleeping experience with Bincho charcoal honeycomb and eiderdown.

Meanwhile, "ORIEMON REMIX" shines a spotlight on the traditional Japanese cotton futon. While applying novel graphics not seen before, the brand re-communicates the charm of Japanese futons that are reborn with each re-fluffing.

In addition, the collection includes other unique bedding items that can become the centerpiece of your interior, such as the luxurious "NI-SHI-KI 24 FORCES" with silk as its filling, and the "AIR COMFORT" mattress bed developed with 3D processing technology to create a feeling of weightlessness.

These items are made to order, with master artisans crafting each piece individually. Therefore, prices range from 1.2 million to 3.1 million yen.

FUTONSTAR, which carefully selects raw materials and ingredients and maximizes the potential of design, is set to change the conventional wisdom of bedding.
