a.depeche is a Japanese interior and lifestyle brand launched in Kyoto in April 2005. Operated by Edix Co., Ltd., it offers products ranging from furniture, its main focus, to lighting, storage, household goods, stationery, and apparel. Guided by the idea of “bringing new value to Japanese interiors,” the brand uses “a room in a Paris apartment” as a metaphor and proposes spaces that combine different elements, such as wood and iron or old and new, without being bound by fixed ideas about nationality, color, or materials. Its original furniture, designed to make the most of the inherent qualities of its materials, forms the core of its offerings, and product development director Shinichi Ohara is involved in the design.
