From what we have to who we are.
For a long time, we have believed that to be rich means to have more.
But today, the world is quietly asking — is that really happiness?
Redefining Our Value is a reflective lifestyle media exploring a form of qualitative richness that cannot be measured by possessions, money, or success.
Crossing the fields of philosophy, design, and social thought, it envisions new forms of economy and sensibility — grounded in sharing, connection, and beauty in living.
Our aim is to move from competing for wealth to recreating its meaning.
The keys lie in simplicity, compassion, and meaning — values once overlooked.
Here, we explore questions such as:
- How can we live well without excess?
- What does “ethical happiness” look like in a post-capitalist world?
- How can creativity reshape our sense of value?
We hope to plant a quiet question within you:
What does value mean to me?
What kind of world do I wish to pass on?
In these questions, we may begin to glimpse a new form of happiness.

What Sustainable Living Means
Our vision of sustainable living includes these key elements:
Zero Waste – Minimizing waste and avoiding resource wastage in daily life
Quality-Focused Consumption – Prioritizing quality over quantity, choosing only what’s truly necessary to achieve both savings and environmental protection

“Redefining Our Value” — 7 Criteria for Choosing Sustainable Products
— From what we have, to what we share —
【Durable and Repairable】
We value products that can be repaired and used for many years instead of being thrown away.
Items with replaceable parts, repair-friendly designs, and timeless aesthetics are prioritized.
True sustainability begins with things that stay with us over time.
【Made from Earth-Friendly Materials】
Materials reflect our relationship with nature.
We choose products made from recycled, renewable, or biodegradable resources that minimize environmental impact.
Sustainability means caring for both our health and the planet’s well-being.
【Protecting the People Who Make It】
Who makes a product—and under what conditions—is part of its quality.
We support brands that ensure fair wages, safe working environments, and the elimination of child labor.
Sustainability includes the well-being of every person behind the product.
【Designed for a Circular Life】
We look for products that don’t end in waste but return to a cycle of use.
Those that can be reused, repaired, recycled, or shared—such as rental and upcycling models—are prioritized.
We choose what connects rather than what is simply owned.
【Honest and Transparent Information】
We value honesty over appearance.
Products that clearly share details about materials, production methods, and environmental actions earn our trust.
Transparency is the foundation of credibility.
【Nurturing Inner Well-being】
We select items that bring calm, balance, and a sense of care to everyday life.
They encourage mindful living and reduce the desire for excessive consumption.
Sustainability begins in the heart, with choices that make life quietly richer.
【Creating a Better Future Together】
We support projects and brands that actively drive change — through repair initiatives, local collaboration, education, and circular economies.
Sustainability is not only a product, but a shared movement toward a better world.
