About the original
SyuRo is a Tokyo-based craft studio founded in 2006 by interior designer Masuko Unayama and operated from a storefront workshop in the Torigoe district of Taito, where Japanese craft manufacturing has concentrated since the Meiji era. SyuRo means palm tree. Each tinplate box is hand-formed from tin-plated steel sheet at partner ateliers in Tokyo, with hammered seams and a friction-fit lid; finishes are left raw to develop patina with handling, without lacquer or ornament. The boxes are designed as everyday storage for small tools, stationery, tea, or workshop supplies. The FW25 Supreme version adds a printed box logo to the lid.
About SyuRo
SyuRo is a Tokyo-based design studio founded in 2000 by interior designer Masuko Unayama in the Torigoe district of Taito, Tokyo, an area historically dense with typesetters, canning factories, and small family-run workshops. The studio produces handmade tinplate, copper, and brass storage canisters along with chopsticks, glassware, and household goods, working with local artisans practicing monozukuri, Japanese small-batch manufacturing. SyuRo means palm tree in Japanese, a reference to leaves spread open like welcoming hands. Production runs are intentionally small, and pieces are designed for long-term daily use. Supreme collaborated with SyuRo on co-branded tinplate canisters for FW25.
