FEWER, BETTER
Katto was founded on the principle that people nowadays want to own fewer, better things.
Things which last. Things which they can be proud to own. Things which make their days (and dinners) that little bit better.
Which is why we're delighted to publish the first edition of Fewer, Better - our new journal celebrating people who create brilliant things.
