'The aesthetic quality of a product is integral
to its usefulness because products we use every day
affect our person and our well-being.
But only well-executed objects can be beautiful.' - D. RamsThis quote was on our shop window for years and we still stand by it completely. Now more and more people are (partially) working from home, there seems to be a growing appreciation for nice workspace environments and all the items within it that make it so.
And that is exactly what we are all about:

MISCELLANEOUS FAVORITES
The incense of Awaji Island
& the matches of Harimahibi
10 minute aroma
These two traditional industries of Hyogo Prefecture first encountered each other in 2011.
The collaboration started with the idea of an incense that could be lit like striking a match.
As Japanese incense is generally very brittle, a clever solution had to be created.
3 years of trial and error followed and a precise recipe of incense and washi pulp was developed: an aromatic product with properties of strength and fragrance, which does not break even when struck like a match.
The brand name hibi means ‘day to day’, or daily, in Japanese.
Misc Store supports
climate change solutions
& plants a tree for every orderImporting from countries as far as Japan & shipping worldwide has more of an impact than we would like.
That is why we plant a tree for every order + we plant an additional 2 trees each day.
Furthermore, we offset the individual carbon footprint of our staff, including travel per individual under 8,000 km by car or 2 short-haul return flights annually, by funding climate change solutions through Ecologi.
Investing in projects focused on carbon avoidance is not the same as simply buying carbon offset certificates, that is why we have chosen to work with Ecologi.We have currently funded 54 climate projects, stand at 163t of carbon avoidance & over 70,000 trees planted.
