Karimoku Furniture, a leading Japanese manufacturer, is embracing the shifting paradigms of living through its initiative, Karimoku Research. This project aims to survey and innovate how design can accommodate contemporary changes, emphasizing sustainability and technology. The new Karimoku Research Center in Tokyo serves as a collaborative hub, where a debut survey, Survey 00: WOOD, showcases how wood can be reimagined in modern design. Collaborating with design studio Christian+Jade, the exhibition displays artistic wood objects that celebrate the material's diversity, encouraging reflection on the relationship between humans and nature.
The Age of Wood exhibition invites visitors to reflect on time, transformation, and the evolving relationship between humans and natural materials, celebrating the beauty of Japanese wood.
Karimoku Research aims to innovate how people live by surveying, archiving, and collaborating with global creatives to explore new design roles that adapt to contemporary changes.
