■About CMF® (Color, Material, Finish)
Surface is made up of 3 dimensions: color, material, and finish. Taking the initials of each of those words, FEEL GOOD CREATION calls their specialty CMF. In many European countries and U.S, not only shape, but also surface designs are the trend. Through CMF, FEEL GOOD CREATION aims to add the value of emotional inspiration to the design. ※CMF is a registered trademark of FEEL GOOD CREATION.
