BRASS
ブラス

東京 日本 Tokyo, JAPAN

There is something extraordinary about brass products. The warmth of the product and the change in colour and texture due to long use make it an exceptional product.
Brass is an alloy of bronze and zinc that is widely used in architecture, furniture and crafts. With repeated use, the surface begins to oxidise, which accentuates the colour and adds character to the material.

MADE IN JAPAN

Imagine the beauty of the texture of BRASS products in ten years' time.

The texture and comfort of writing, the click when you engage the fountain pen or biros, the curve of the pen inspired by a vintage car and the precision of the straight edge of the ruler are the fruits of the skill of the factory's craftsmen. After the pressing and sharpening processes, the products are finally inspected and assembled by hand.

旅と共に歩む真鍮のペン
THE BRASS PEN THAT GROWS WITH YOUR JOURNEY

The "BRASS" collection is made in Japan, where the incomparable talent of the craftsmen is now known throughout the world.

Brass is an alloy that does not contain iron, it is essentially composed of copper and zinc and because of this it simply does not rust.

Even better: the more you use it, the more its colours and textures evolve and, let's be honest, become more beautiful over time.

Each shop is a journey into the world of TRAVELER'S COMPANY, with every element of decoration designed and handcrafted by the brand's producer Iijima Atsuhiko and art director Miho Hashimoto.

TRAVELER'S FACTORY is not a shop like the others.

For example, you will find items related to train travel in the shop at the famous Tokyo station, decoration related to aeroplanes in the shop at Narita airport or items related to traditional Japan in the shop in Kyoto.

If you are a real fan of the brand, you can't go to Japan without visiting the official Nakameguro shop. You will of course find the entire TRAVELER'S COMPANY collection, but also a great selection of products such as the TOYO STEEL Japanese steel boxes, the TOOLS TO LIVEBY Japanese steel scissors or the PICUS brass accessories.

インタビュー・デザイナーズ INTERVIEW WITH IIJIMA ATSUHIKO & MIHO HASHIMOTO

What textures do you like?

We like brass and leather because they are materials that change with time. They become more beautiful and valuable as they age, unlike modern products.

What difficulties have you encountered in developing your brass products?

We invested a lot of time. The most difficult thing was to find a factory that makes brass products. We wanted to work with Japanese craftsmen, but most of them are closing their workshops and moving to China.

First and foremost, we use raw, untreated brass because it changes colour easily. Many factories refused to make our products because they considered it a defect that the material changes over time. They preferred to make lacquered products to keep a shiny texture. So it was difficult to convince them to make raw products.
