Name Brand Furniture

The Riverside Furniture Sophie Square Cocktail Table brings both style and function to your living room. Once you have your basic living room, dining room, or bedroom set, adding a gorgeous accent piece can make all the difference. Accent pieces are designed to stand out, so donu2019t be afraid to add a style that contrasts with the existing furniture in the room.

If you have traditional furniture, a sleek contemporary piece will create interest and high visual impact. On the other hand, if you have an edgy industrial look, an ornate accent console in warm wood can become a conversation piece.

The Kinfolk Gallery

Designed by Norm Architects

Designed by Norm Architects, The Kinfolk Gallery is a collaborative, multifunctional space in the heart of Copenhagen where our friends and partners come together to share ideas and showcase their work. Co-created in partnership with some of the worldu2019s leading interiors brands, The Kinfolk Gallery is available to host a variety of events, such as art exhibitions, visiting pop-up shops, guest lectures, fashion showings, workshops, dinner gatherings and photo shoots.

To break away from the experience of regular office spaces the reception area is designed to be more like a dining or living room with a huge round table in the middle and shelving on the wall. The space become much more welcoming in this way and can also be used for gatherings and group meetings. The office part of the space is arranged with bespoke tables that we designed with inspiration from Japanese architectural construction principles.

Ouur brands

All the bespoke wooden elements in the space are made from Dinesen oak and give a natural warmth to the space. The combination of the stringent tables, the earthy walls, the original wooden moulding, soft sand colored draping and contemporary design pieces, creates a elegant, sophisticated and crisp workplace that in our opinion fits well with the Kinfolk and Ouur brands. Culture, history, Scandinavia, Japan and modernism fused in a subtle, understated way that fits the cultivated sensibility of the people working there and the young creatives that are their audience and collaborators.

The project has been a co-creation with a lot of brands, which has been both challenging and fun. Among these are are the Danish design company Paustian that produced the tables that we designed bespoke for this project with wood by Dinesen. In addition, the space also features a smoaked oak kitchen designed by Norm Architects for Reform.

The Azabu Residence

Minimal Space

Azabu Residence is a minimal space located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by Keiji Ashizawa and Frederik Alexander Werner of Norm Architects for Karimoku Case Study. The latest additions to the collection of fine wooden furniture pieces are created as part of this complete renovation project and have its native setting in a luxury apartment built in 1988, tucked away in the quiet Nishi-Azabu residential district of Tokyo.u00a0

u201cRegardless of the dark tones used to unify the space, the beauty of this home stands out in the morning and early afternoon, with the contrast of direct sunlight peeking into the space, and at night, when the ambiance of the space is created by an elaborate artificial light scheme.u201d

Praise of Shadows

u201cAnother main narrative in the interior design is inspired by the well-known Japanese book by Junu2019ichiru014d Tanizaki, u201cIn Praise of Shadowsu201d, that was recommended to us by Keiji Ashizawa on one of our first field trips in Japan. In Scandinavia we often work with bright white walls to enhance daylight, but through the writings of Junu2019ichiru014d Tanizaki, we understood the value of dark, dim places and chose to celebrate and enhance the nature of the site, which resulted in a dark monochrome material palette.u201d

Similar to the previous Case Study projects, the Azabu apartment combines Japanese and Scandinavian design principles and aesthetics. A shared belief in the use of natural materials and a muted color palette lies as the foundation of the project, characterized by the focus on tactile, soft-minimal and timeless qualities.

Japanese minimalism in Denmark

Traditional Danish country house

The house is located in the idyllic landscape of Northern Zealand, Denmark. Surrounded by meadows and forests, the house sits intimately secluded in a nook of trees that open up to a park-like garden that brings light and air to the residence. The exterior of the house is a tribute to traditional Danish country houses, featuring a matte-rendered chalky taupe coloured fau00e7ade, paned windows, thatched roof and granite stone settings.

Everything inside out is made from the finest, largely locally sourced natural materials. Inside, the house comprises warm, balanced spaces with roughly textured surfaces, thoughtfully in-built and bespoke details. The overall mood and colour scheme of the exterior is translated into the interior with a raw, tactile material palette of wood, stone, natural fibre textiles and leathers dominating the open space plan of the house, combining farmhouse appeal, exclusive refinement and elegant, sculptural features.

Royal Nubuk Leather

Designed to meet the needs of an active family that often hosts and entertains guests, the property comprises pool, tennis court and connected greenhouse. All materials chosen for the interiors are durable and easily maintained, only gaining beauty with time, wear and tear. Inspired by the familyu2019s lifestyle and frequent traveling, the home also contains elements characteristic of hospitality interiors.

The bench designed for the main entrance of the house is made from sawn smoked oak and Royal Nubuk Leather from Su00f8rensen Leather. The elegant bar cabinet is designed in lamelled dark oak and blackened iron. The sculptural dining table stands as a magnificent centrepiece in the bright and stone-floored dining room with textured walls and paned, floor-to-ceiling windows.

High Park Residence

A place of refuge

In the chaos of life today a home needs to be a place of refuge, a solitude for the homeowners to retreat to. Built for an Italian couple, the design pays homage both to the clientsu2019 Italian heritage and that of the Toronto residential building fabric, while ensuring a sensitivity towards wellbeing, mobility, and convenience.

The design of the Pacific project is born from the homeownersu2019 values and traditions where the comforts of their past are now viscerally felt within their present-day lives. The vault, in its many permutations, is one of the most common archetypes of ancient Roman architecture, characterized by its powerful modulation of light and its sense of lightness.

Pacific project

In adopting this typology into a domestic space, the architects evolved the vault from its primary form, puncturing, cutting, and peeling it into new geometries that help to distribute light and air into key locations, respond to program organization, demarcating each with a different atmosphere, and create a sectional continuity throughout the house.u00a0

In carrying sacred content from the homeowneru2019s past into the present they are transported into another time and place, full of stories, meaning, and memories that become their refuge.

Bamboo Furniture

The benefits of choosing bamboo furniture

The bamboo tree can already be harvested within 1 to 5 years since the tree was planted. If you compare it to an oak tree, it takes up to 40-50 years before they are ready to be harvested. Also, bamboo does not require replanting, after it is harvested it will grow a new shoot from the existing root.

Bamboo trees can grow everywhere and on top that, it grows incredibly fast without the help of either fertilizers or plant protection products. It can grow from 20cm to 1 meter per day, depending on the species and surroundings. In the tropical or subtropical parts of the world, it grows 1 meter a day.

Extend the life of your bamboo furniture

Bamboo is an incredibly durable material and harder than traditional wood types. They are therefore suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Because bamboo is a natural material, it requires care in order to preserve its beautiful colour and textures.

Untreated bamboo furniture used outdoors will eventually be marked by natural dirt, which can lead to the beautiful yellowish natural colour of bamboo taking on a grey coating. Due to this, we recommend that you wash the furniture before every season and a few times during.

Memories and Inspiration

Unlike many who find it easy to work from home, itu2019s not been easy for me. I cannot really do much from my own house other than write and give advice and of course redo and redecorate as much as possible without killing the husband and children

While pottering around my home, Iu2019ve realized and appreciated how much my home is surrounded by memories and how these memories have calmed me and made me appreciate life and time even more. Every home has memories; some you bring and some you create. Without this your house may be magazine worthy; beautiful but cold.

Daliu2019s Persistence of a Memory

When you look at an old photo or see a souvenir you can go back in date, time and place for certain events. Psychologists call this an individualu2019s semantic memory. However, walking around my home I can do much more than that. I can relive it as if were from inside with the smells, sights and sounds u2013 every sensory moment in detail.

Every home has a design influence and mine is a combination of my childhood memories along with travel. My childhood home is a collectoru2019s delight and it is my mother who taught me to love the eclectic. To admire the hand woven basket as much as the Wedgewood tea set (if not more!).

Redefine What Sustainability Means to You

The way you spend your money can have a ripple effect on your surroundings. Itu2019s not about buying a product from a perceived premium brand. Itu2019s about being conscious and conscientious about what you buy. All it takes is to pause and ask a simple question: is this product aligned to sustainability? Am I aiding sustainable values or am I abetting them?

Having an eco-friendly home du00e9cor doesnu2019t always mean starting over. Itu2019s a matter of making small yet simple decisions about your home to protect the environment. Use brands that are driven by ethical labour standards and fair trade practices.

Use Materials that are Non-toxic

Your paint matters. The next time you decide to paint your walls or your furniture, ensure you choose a paint that is free of VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds. VOCs are not only harmful to the environment but are also harmful to you and your familyu2019s health.

Plants bring about a renewed life into any space. A few plants such as ferns and palms can not only add to the du00e9cor but also increase oxygen levels in a room. You wonu2019t lose any sleep over potted plants during your vacations either. In-house plants are low maintenance and can live up to 3 weeks without water.

Sofa Collection Design For Living Room

Where to start?

Most of the ones who would have the option to work from home would be those with work focussed on software, consultation, design and digital marketing or promotion. While all of these share a common ground u2013 working on a PC or a Mac, the amount of sheer typing and focus varies. So, letu2019s break it down bit by bit and get to know how you can make the best use of your furniture.

Software development is an intensive process. Even with the myriads of environment and development platforms available with smart code suggestions, peering through lines of code and syntax to find a solution can be frustrating. Most laptops donu2019t come equipped with keyboards that can handle aggressive coding sessions.

If you have an external monitor at home or have a TV with mirroring capability, use it to make your coding much more relaxing. At times, a large block of code can become especially intriguing and interesting at the same time. To avoid backaches, make sure you have proper support for your buttocks and lower spine using a hardwood chair.

Bean bags are good, but unless you want to wake up with painful shoulders and back, avoid those. Remember, you still must work the next day from home and canu2019t take any long walks inside the office compound. Resist from the bed when you are just researching code blocks, thatu2019s going to give you a painful neck.

Make Home Monsoon Ready

Waterproof Walls & Windows

As soon as summer is over, do a round around the house and check for any cracks in the walls. Grab a ladder and go over every little detail of your ceiling before the rain starts to pour. Water can easily seep through the ceiling and ruin furniture like your beds and sofa sets.

You can use lacquer or white cement and seal any cracks in the walls and ceilings to avoid damaging your home interiors. Your water worries donu2019t end there. Water can sometimes enter through your windows even though they are shut. If you notice this happening, you can insulate the windows with a rubber lining to stop the rain from leaking into your home

Avoid Flooding the Floor

Wooden flooring needs extra care during monsoons due to high moisture levels in the atmosphere. Do not polish the floor with varnish as the moisture will prevent it from drying. You can wipe the floor with a dry cloth and spread silica gel across the floor to avoid any swelling in the wood.

Camphor and naphthalene balls are excellent moisture absorbers as well. Expensive carpets and rugs are also important aspects of interior du00e9cor. Roll them up and replace them with quick-drying mats to avoid ruining them. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and any wiring exposed to rain can prove to be fatal. Unattended wires and uninsulated cords need to be covered immediately to prevent short-circuiting your power supply during monsoons.
