We've featured the work of Oji Masanori before (see Designer Visit: Oji Masanori in Japan), so we were interested to see some of his newer designs at Merchant No. 4. Originally trained as an architect, Masanouri creates simple pieces he calls "Living Products." We especially like his new brass pendants, towel bars, and shelf brackets for venerable Japanese metalworkers Futagami.
