Aichi, Japan
Karimoku Case is a contemporary Japanese lifestyle brand that emerged from shared design values and a deep appreciation for serene beauty, material richness, and timeless appeal. What sets the brand apart is its unique approach to creation, where world-renowned architects develop collections through individual "cases," with each collection's story being told through its native setting. The brand's philosophy emphasizes a holistic approach to architecture and design, where studios create coherent styles and settings by working from the architectural framework inward to the interiors and objects, designing for specific needs rather than mere aesthetics.
As part of Japan's leading wooden furniture manufacturer Karimoku, whose origins date back to 1940, the brand benefits from unparalleled expertise in woodworking and quality craftsmanship. The company's commitment to excellence is evident in their workshop program, where architects are invited to their facility in Aichi, Japan, to understand the company's history and production capabilities. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Case Study Houses program of the 1940s and combining Japanese craftsmanship with cultural connections to nature shared by both Japanese and Danish design traditions, Karimoku Case creates furniture that serves as a bridge between urban dwellers and natural materials, offering pieces that gain beauty with time and age.
