TeDe has a few meanings.



First, 'te' means hand in Japanese. TeDe literally means 'by hand.'

This is fitting since we make everything by hand.




Secondly, we think of TeDe as 'te design' or 'hand design.'

We believe the process of making and the process of designing are closely related.




Lastly, TeDe echoes our names.

Te-tsushi Inoue and Kristina De-twiller.
