This collaboration with Karimoku Furniture is an expansive production opportunity with the huge selection of wood species, printing capabilities, painting techniques, textile application, and all within this honored practice of tradition. Tradition feels important when you can still use it in your day-to-day life. When you see the thread of it. Tradition is a practice, a belief, a method. It can often serve as a kind of comfort or discomfort with the need of a twist to keep a tradition engaged and going. So that is the point of departure, how to invent from some of the basic home furniture silhouettes and needs and also some that are less used that can receive a new life and purpose. The traditions of Japanese household furniture hold a unique meaning and function, and we work from that platform to try to reflect an imaginative world.”
