Karimoku and Karimoku Case
The origins of Karimoku date back to 1940, when Shohei Kato took over a longstanding timber company and established a small woodworking shop in the town of Kariya. The company produced various wooden parts in the ensuing decades, developing a range of techniques before launching its own line of wooden furniture in the 1960s. Emerged from shared design values, Karimoku Case is a contemporary lifestyle brand, based in Japan and born out of admiration and love for serene beauty, material richness and timeless appeal. The collections are brought to life by world-renowned architects through individual cases, and the story of each collection is told through its native setting.The brand was born out of mutual admiration. In both Denmark and Japan there's a connection to nature evident in our respective design traditions. We believe that introducing quality design and natural materials into our homes is a simple and efficient way of enhancing our quality of life.
