HOSHINA is ARFLEX JAPAN’s original international collection. ARFLEX JAPAN roots itself in Italy.

ARFLEX JAPAN has become a long-established modern furniture brand that provides the highest-quality products to the Japanese high society, by manufacturing its products using the best materials and structures, and continuously being innovative to suit the demand for the top quality in the Japanese market.

In 1967, Tadashi Hoshina, the founder of ARFLEX JAPAN and a graphic designer then, moved to Italy after realizing the difference in Western and Japanese lifestyles. He felt that the Japanese side was far behind its Western counterparts. In the same year, Hoshina made his fateful acquaintance with ARFLEX ITALIA, the leading company in modern furniture industry. Tadashi Hoshina returned to Japan with the furniture-making skills and the right to manufacture original ARFLEX products in Japan. With a profound understanding of and sensitivity to Italian-inspired lifestyles, Hoshina founded ARFLEX JAPAN in 1969.
