a gentle philosophy of slow living and presence. Once used to describe the fleeting world, it later became a philosophy of finding beauty in the moment, choosing to live slowly, with intention, even amidst impermanence. It reminds us that peace is not found in escaping the world, but in learning to flow with it.

Boon How and Jia Xuan first connected with Biu through social media, discovering a shared love for stones, teapots, and the quiet rituals that help us slow down. From those meetings, UKINO was born: a space where we bring this philosophy into the everyday through thoughtful creations, offering beautiful pieces that are attuned to the unique needs of each person.

Whether it is a crystal chosen for clarity or a teapot crafted for stillness, each gift is a reminder to pause, breathe, and return to oneself. In a world restless with noise and turbulence, UKINO seeks to offer small, grounding moments of peace—timeless companions for mental clarity, spiritual growth, and a slower, more meaningful way of living.
