Atelier m4 is an award winning, 4th generation furniture brand based in Matsumoto City in Japan. Originating from the 120–year old Maeda Mokugei Studio, atelier m4’s designs are rooted in the style of the Edo samurai and townspeople, characterised by delicate and minimal structures and skilfully joined materials. Perpetually looking to a more sustainable future, atelier m4 have collaborated with researchers and craftsmen to develop new methods to utilise fast–growing coniferous trees and transform discarded wood into elegant, luxurious furniture. Relying solely on hand tools and traditional techniques, atelier m4 creates furniture made with local woods, embodying a deep respect for nature and place and a universal richness in each piece.

During 3daysofdesign, atelier m4 opens an exhibition in collaboration with the fashion brand Ruda Patrice, debuting a new armchair created with the materials from both brands. This product, crafted with atelier m4’s renowned handcraft techniques in coniferous wood processing, merges sustainability with luxury. At the venue, artisans from atelier m4 will demonstrate their unique technique for processing coniferous wood without the use of sandpaper or modern tools, creating pieces that combine strength with a silky finish. The two brands work across fields of design, sharing the same vision for the future, transcending borders. This exhibition marks Atelier m4’s first–ever showcase outside Japan.
