Tomomi

Bali has become Tomomi's favorite place. After visiting Bali several times on vacation, she decided to move there in 2004. "Balinese people are friendly and always smile – that made it easy for me to get close to them. Also, they have a strong religion and great interest in art and culture," she explains.

Tomomi speaks Bahasa Indonesia fluently. She lived in Vietnam for almost six months and worked in an interior décor shop before moving to Bali. There she was introduced to furniture and handicrafts from different places such as Africa, Indonesia and Thailand.

Tomomi was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1975. She graduated from a Tokyo university with a major in art and design. Her childhood dream has guided Tomomi to create something different of her life. Together with a Balinese friend, she designs and creates accessories made mostly of cow and goat leather and also of cow bone. The idea was something wild and fashionable.
