About

Hello, My name is Iacopo Torrini: I am an Italian architect living in Japan since 1998. I have a great passion for traditional Japanese architecture and I worked for 3 years for a well-known architectural office involved in the restoration of heritage buildings in the Kansai area. I tried to get involved as much as possible in site management and I got the opportunity to learn directly from skilled craftsmen: carpenters, furniture makers, plasterers, thatched roof builders, and so on. Needless to say, this experience changed my life: be surrounded by natural materials is such a beautiful experience that I wanted to transmit it to my fellow foreigners who have the taste to appreciate it. As many acquaintances asked me about natural Japanese products, I began exporting hinoki tubs in the year 2003. As I am writing this in January 2021, in this 17 years we have exported more than 600 bathtubs to 48 countries worldwide … and counting!
