The scientist Robert Hooke, who discovered the theory of elastic materials. The inventor Whitocomb L Judson, who devised the fastener. And "Edo," which means Tokyo. Combining all these words, the fictional craftsman "ED ROBERT JUDSON" was created.
"A concept of an imaginary craftsman creating idea tools inspired by everyday things," this project employs mechanisms that make you want to touch them, expanding the sensibility of those who hold them.
Designer Ken Ezaki graduated from Bunka Fashion College and worked at a certain apparel company while engaging in leather crafting as a hobby. This hobby grew into a desire to create "new things that excite everyone," leading to the establishment of "ED ROBERT JUDSON" in 2009.
By combining contrasting materials (such as natural leather with artificial industrial parts), a "gap" is created, and when precise hand-sewing stitches are added, a mysterious object full of surprise and warmth is born.
"MEMO," created with a notepad as the image source. The coin case "HOOKE," which uses springs instead of zippers, embodies a fascinating worldview that is not bound by fixed concepts, supported by reliable materials such as leather from the long-established German tanner "WEINHEIMER" and binder fittings from "KURAUSE."
In 2014, the brand expanded overseas, receiving praise both domestically and internationally for its minimal design filled with the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi and unexpected ideas. Please take a look at the world of slightly inventive tools created by the fictional craftsman ED ROBERT JUDSON at our online store.
