SIWA Coin Case

Small, light, and compact coin purse with a zipper. Two compartments keep coins and folded notes organized. Ideal for the swimming pool or other destinations where valuables are better left at home and only the necessary change is needed. The surface texture resembles paper, but the material is still very robust and water-resistant.

SIWA is a collaboration between the traditional washi paper manufacturer ONAO and the renowned industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa. SIWA means "crease" and is washi read backward (literally: "Japanese paper"), both characteristics of SIWA products.
The durable and stylish pieces are made from Naoron, a special type of paper developed by ONAO, which consists of a mixture of wood pulp and synthetic fibers. It has the characteristic texture of paper but does not tear as easily and is extremely water-resistant.
ONAO was founded in 1974 in Ichikawa Misato, Yamanashi Prefecture. The area is known for its over 1000-year history in paper manufacturing. ONAO is a leader in the traditional production of Japanese paper and remains innovative through new creations such as the SIWA collection.

Naoto Fukasawa (b. 1956) is an internationally renowned industrial designer. In the West, he is particularly known for his product design for the Japanese retail company Muji and for collaborations with companies such as Herman Miller, Alessi, and HAY.
