Karimoku Case Study is a premium brand from the Japanese manufacturer Karimoku, launched in 2019. It offers serene, minimalist furniture that thoughtfully blends Japanese and Scandinavian design principles. The focus is on natural materials and timeless appeal.
The brand is a modern extension of Karimoku Furniture, which was founded in 1940 by Shohei Kato. All pieces are manufactured in-house at the company's factories in Japan. This allows for complete control over the process, from sourcing sustainably harvested timber to the final product.
Many collections are born from collaborations with world-renowned architects like Norm Architects and Keiji Ashizawa Design. These pieces are developed for specific architectural projects, or "cases," which gives the furniture a unique context and story. Signature lines include the Kinuta and Azabu collections.
