On the Bijou & Joule Collection A founderβs reflection on lacquer, accessibility, and making fancy fun
Founder reflection on the inspiration and design intent behind Bijou & Joule. Inspired by high-end urushi pens but designed to deliver ~80% of that experience at a fraction of the cost through modern lacquer systems. Focus on depth, finish, accessibility, tradeoffs, and making craftsmanship approachable.
