Fundamental value from the fusion of Denmark and Japan
Based on the concept of “high-quality and sustainable furniture” carefully made by Japanese craftsmen one by one, it is simple, beautiful, functional, and earth-friendly furniture that fuses Danish and Japanese designs.
There are 18 different collections of tables, chairs, sofas, stools, etc., and the materials are carefully selected for environmentally friendly, water-based, solid ash, cotton canvas fabrics, Kvadra’s uncolored wool, and natural tanned leather that does not use chemicals such as Sorensen leather.
The seats for chairs and sofas can be customized.
