Under the theme of “natural contrast”, the exhibition offered visitors a new way to experience of the brand with an awareness of the harmony between darkness and light.
The space was used to showcase the latest items designed for Case Study 09 Bellustar Tokyo and Case Study 10 Azabu Hills Residence, creating a space where visitors could enjoy the brand’s concept and the unique designs which are aimed at rethinking the relationship between space and furniture.

The shape of the N-PL01 Pendant Lamp mimics the high and triangular shaped roof construction of the Archipelago House on the Swedish coast. The bottom of the lamp has been covered with a single piece of Washi paper, which is cleverly held in place by a few magnets, making it easy to disassemble, should you need to change the bulb. The bottom furthermore acts as a screen, hiding the light source and creating a warm and indirect light that is diffused not only down but also to the sides.
Karimoku Case is born out of admiration and love for serene beauty, material richness and timeless appeal.
