The team that creates SUPER ZERO Lab.
OWNER |
We innovate thread. Through the combination of various threads and spinning them together, we can unlock infinite possibilities. From a single thread that is twisted and spun into yarn, we create fabrics and products that we can then showcase to the world the wonders of Japan’s technology, tradition, and culture. Through our yarn, we want to create a place that can combine together the new and traditional, in order to bring forth endless potential.
