reflections


for our life

Even if we live alone at home,
we always live together with others in the world.

We find our place in a familiar neighbourhood.
Its shops are where we discover both objects and people.

As work and life overlap, this space invites new ways to think about how we live.

A concept place for everyone.

HOW WE LIVE


is a lifestyle brand

and a concept store produced by KOKUYO and ACTUS from Japan.

Our goal is to offer unique alternatives for personal and professional life, providing a holistic range of design objects, furniture, stationery, and homewares that are rooted in Japan and reaching beyond, alongside collaborative products crafted with local designers.

We see hospitality as an important part of the overall experience, creating a social ambience and helping establish HOW WE LIVE as a meeting place for residents, professionals, students and visitors for their creative life and workstyles.

Our goal remains to craft functional, purposeful items and environments that nurture curiosity, creativity, and individuality, celebrating the quiet pleasures of life.
