What does ‘yugen’ mean?
The word ‘yugen’ is Japanese. The meaning is described as “a profound awareness of the universe that triggers feelings too deep for words.”

What’s important to us
Our values
Create more than you consume – at Yugen we live and work sustainably. For us, this also means living a minimalist life and giving our planet, our society and our environment more than we take.
Authentic
Nobody is perfect. We believe that the best work comes when everyone is allowed to be themselves at all times. Diversity and different opinions make us strong.
Sustainable
We want to give more and create more than we take from this planet. That is why we set high standards for ourselves and our products.
Have fun
Life is short. So why not enjoy it while we’re here. Our work is fun and awesome and we want to share this joy with others.
