Public Crafts focuses on preserving and reintroducing traditional Japanese materials, which are fading from modern life, through design and spatial composition. The team collaborates with skilled craftsmen in Japan to create handmade products. Additionally, Public Crafts partners with Pure Fabrications, a small atelier based in Copenhagen that creates textiles and clothing entirely by hand in collaboration with its local community. Sharing a common vision, Public Crafts supports Pure Fabrications' efforts to expand the craft community across generations and continents.

Sakiori Home Goods Collection—Public Crafts and Pure Fabrications is creating a collection of home goods through the craft of Sakiori. By fabricating ordinary objects out of human made textiles from pen cases, aprons and storage containers to bedcovers and rugs, it shows how everyday life can be abundant with textures and charm. The authenticity and tactile quality of the one–of–a–kind Sakiori material is making space for personal affection to daily items.
