In the early 1900s, the Imperial Hotel commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest American architects of the 20th century, to design its new building. Hatsunojo Ina and his son Chozaburo were invited to become technical advisors for this project. Upon the completion of the hotel, they took on the workers and the equipment of this factory, creating Ina Seito, which later became INAX.
Japan is a country that respects the beauty of nature and people, and INAX is a brand nurtured by Japan’s unique tradition and culture, inheriting the techniques and spirit of craftsmanship, relentless in the pursuit of quality. All these components change and dignify the surrounding atmosphere, and give comfort to everyone who sees them. Highly regarded outside Japan, ageless Japanese beauty and techniques have inspired contemporary designers, marking a footprint in the products they design.
