KAMARO'AN
A tribe is a collective term for people that has become established as a way of describing different ethnic groups.
It begins as a small community, then expands into a city, kingdom, empire, and finally globalization.
The world is gradually becoming more homogenous: people share the same modern system and strive for universal values.
Fortunately, Taiwan has a strong tradition of preserving its unique values, traditional culture, and craftsmanship.
Only a few indigenous people remain who have carefully preserved and accumulated their ethnic knowledge.
However, like many rural areas around the world, in areas with long-standing traditions and cultures,
The younger generation has left for the cities, leaving no successors, and as a result,
Local communities and economies are shrinking, losing vitality and creativity.
Looking back at the commonplace objects that have been familiar to generations, we can see the original purity and timelessness that they reflect.
We inspire people to seek the essence.
Based on the strong belief that it is objects, rather than copywriting, interviews or campaigns, that truly reveal the culture and values ​​of a region, KAMARO'AN was launched in 2013 by a team of two industrial designers and one indigenous culture researcher as a project to explore the possibility of embodying traditional crafts and their cultural values ​​in product design.
It has been established as a brand since 2015.
Inspired by Taiwan's indigenous culture, KAMARO'AN pursues meticulous craftsmanship with clean designs, working closely with local artisans and resources to create jobs for young people with indigenous backgrounds, and striving to support and preserve local traditions and working conditions.
The name KAMARO'AN comes from the fact that the Amis people, one of Taiwan's indigenous peoples, value handmade everyday items that reflect their way of life in harmony with nature, known as Pangcah (Panzah), and are committed to flashy yet practical weaving methods.
KAMARO'AN celebrates the uniqueness, timeless beauty and precision that hands can bring to life.
