Lost & Found

Cities are full of objects left behind. A single glove on a bench. An umbrella leaning against a wall. A bicycle missing its lock, waiting for someone who won’t return.

These items are more than accidents. They are fragments of stories. Each one hints at someone’s routine, someone’s hurry, someone’s distraction. In their absence, we imagine presence.

In Tokyo, umbrellas bloom and vanish with every rainstorm, left outside train stations in quiet rows. In New York, bikes sit chained with missing wheels, their frames rusting into sculpture. What is lost becomes part of the city itself.

At ichinichi.studio, these unnoticed artifacts inspire design. A forgotten object becomes a symbol, a reminder that imperfection and absence hold beauty too.

What’s lost doesn’t always need to be found. Sometimes it only needs to be seen.
