"From Hand to Hand" — Connecting Japan's Master Craftsmanship with Sophisticated Global Lifestyles.

"tetote" means "hand to hand" in Japanese. Our mission is to deliver authentic Japanese handmade crafts directly from the artisans' hands to customers'. We bring high-quality products that fuse Japan's superior techniques with contemporary aesthetics to Switzerland and across Europe.

The Artisan Connection

We maintain strong partnerships with small workshops / studios that have exceptional skills, and value direct dialogue with the artisans. All of our products are handcrafted by artisans, we carefully select items that offer the warmth of handmade work and the enjoyment of patina (aging) that develops over time. Along with the story of the artisan, we provide products meant to be cherished and used for many years to come.

Integration of Minimalism and Contemporary Lifestyle

While rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, we pursue designs that harmonize seamlessly with modern European lifestyles. Simple yet sophisticated minimal designs not only accentuate the natural texture of the materials but also offer timeless appeal that transcends trends, fitting any occasion. A commitment to sustainability—the philosophy of cherishing a single object for the long term—is into every product we offer.

Wholesale and B2B Solutions

In addition to individual sales, tetote offers wholesale and specialized solutions for corporate clients. Whether you are looking for valued Japanese products for boutiques and concept stores, procurement of authentic tableware for restaurants, or the planning of premium corporate gifts, please do not hesitate to contact us regarding your business needs.
