The Inoue Brothers was founded in 2004 by two brothers, Satoru and Kiyoshi Inoue - born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is a design/art studio based on a common love for two cultures, Japanese sensibility and Scandinavian simplicity.

They call it Scandinasian design. The brand has been developed through uncompromising ideals yet total openness of perspective, which has enabled the brand to establish strong bonds with various indigenous and heritage, culture and craft rich communities. With every project, the aim is to create awareness of responsible production methods through quality and design.

Until today TIB have enjoyed collaborations with names such as Comme des Garçons, Monocle, Dover Street Market, LN-CC, Sasquatch Fabrix, Gazelle and Nicholas taylor.

The family business is operated by the brothers and Ulla, Satoru’s wife.
