Obaku Denmark takes its name from a branch of Japanese Zen philosophy that is characterized by a sense of calm and cleanliness free of all unnecessary details. The idea that the items we use to adorn ourselves should have a sense of calm and balance is what gave birth to Obaku. This mindset is combined with the Danish design philosophy of creating a simple, durable and robust design, helping to enhance the fundamental standards of living through simplicity and functionality such as functionality, edgy/clean lines and a minimalist look .
