The story / Anczi

The character’s story

After the season, he returns to his notes. Precise, early, unhurried. By default he feels that there is little time and that rushing is not an option, and that is exactly the state in which he is calm: the short season does not trouble him, a lost hour does.

Brands in this character’s world

Brand-inspired look

HARIO

Visit the company

A brand of heatproof-glass products, including teaware.

Anczi slowly turns a HARIO bottle towards the light, revealing his own cold infusion of Anji baicha, a green tea. Both undivided paws support the glass and base; the leaves stay inside the closed bottle. A loose pale shirt and blue-green shorts create a relaxed contemporary outfit, while his single tall shoot and mouthless face preserve his distinctive form.
