About TEFTART
In 1974, my father started a small factory in Higashi-Osaka City, a town
famous for manufacturing, where he dealt with electronic devices.
I was always surrounded by industrial product parts and played
with them as toys.
After graduating from the College of Arts in Kyoto in 1994, I started to
help my father's business. At that time, I rediscovered the beauty of
industrial product parts and wondered if I could create something with
them, which led to the start of TEFTART.
Since then, we have been
transforming various materials into Robot motif works of art.
Robot motif works of art processed from pen blank.
We discovered "pen blank," a material used for the body of fountain pens
and ballpoint pens, as one of our production materials and were
fascinated by its potential, leading to the creation of new concept
works.
We do everything by hand, from cutting pen blanks, polishing work,
drilling holes, and assembling the parts.
All TEFTART pieces are indeed one-off pieces.
Concept
Close friends anytime and anywhere.
I want to be always by your side
when you are
happy or feel a bit sad.
Online Shopping
We plan to open soon.
If you are purchasing robot charms from outside Japan, please purchase them from this online store pinkoi.
All of TEFTART robot-themed works are handmade and one-of-a-kind. Find your favorite friend.
