hideyo.
Maya McDonell & Sam Beckman

We design and work together under the name hideyo. This was Maya’s mother’s name, who remains a creative and inspiring influence. It is a Japanese name that also alludes to the Japanese influence in much of our work. Our fabric and paper creations use almost solely recycled and eco-friendly materials. We love the qualities of materials like old clothes and unwanted books that can only come with age. Along with the exciting process of recreating an item into something new, this also represents our commitment to a gentler impact on the unique Tasmanian environment and the world at large.

We also have a blog, check it out! http://hideyodesigns.blogspot.com
