Makoto Oozu

ThePorcelainsLove the graphics on these ceramic items from Japanese brand, The Porcelains. They are the creations of Makoto Oozu, an independent cross stitch and pixel designer. He created simple cross stitch patterns of retro game icons and embellished these ceramic pieces as well as a variety of consumer items with these images. He has also produced 6 cross stitch pattern books some of which can be purchased in his Etsy store, The Mint House.

Knoop

KnoopWe’ve featured this stationery brand last year on our old blog but we like it so much that we feel Knoop deserves a repeat. This minimalist line of paper goods is sold under the brand, Knoop. The unisex paper items include wrapping paper, tags, gift bags and letter sets.  We love the simple graphics and the natural color palette. You can find them here at the Japanese handmade online shops, Iichi and Minne.
