SIZUKO ships in four finishes: matte sage, matte clay, matte bone, and matte ink. We used to ship twelve. Here is why we stopped.
Twelve finishes is a logistics problem
Twelve finishes meant twelve SKUs per product. Twelve filament spools in the studio. Twelve chances to run out of the one someone wanted mid-month. Twelve shipping boxes because they had to be packed separately so the colour powder coat would not scuff.
We were spending more time managing finish inventory than designing pieces.
Four finishes is a design decision
Restricting to four finishes forced a real question: which four? We sat with the studio for a week and put every SIZUKO piece we had made on the floor. The sage pieces looked right next to the clay pieces. The bone pieces softened the sage. The ink pieces grounded everything.
We did not need twelve. We needed those four.
What we learned
Saying yes to everything is a kind of saying no to yourself. Restraint is not deprivation. It is the part of the design that says — this is the studio, this is the palette, these are the pieces.
If you want a SIZUKO piece in a colour we do not offer, you can request it as a custom commission. But you will be asking us to step outside the brand, and we will probably gently suggest you do not.
