Hachiman Garden Beetle

Hachiman transforms the mundane to the multifaceted through the power of thoughtful design. Nestled in the small riverside town of Gujo Hachiman in Japan's Gifu prefecture, the family-owned company reimagines household objects- the ones typically hiddden away when not in use. Everything is considered, from proportions and materials to construction and delightful details.

In the hands of Hachiman designers, a utilitarian bucket becomes a colourful, lidded container that doubles as a stool or a side table, a cooler or a planter. A traditional watering can gains precision through a widened spout that is grooved with channels for sprinkler-like flow and superior control. These award-winning designs are the best of their kind, destined to become trusted companions, indoors and out.
