Karimoku New Standard × BIG-GAME

Specialist in contemporary wooden furniture, Japanese manufacturer Karimoku New Standard has refurbished the House of Switzerland’s restaurant “Degustazione” utilising a collection of furniture designed by Swiss studio BIG-GAME. Partnering with each other since 2009, this symbolises the successful crossover between the two groups, merging the heritage and expertise of Japanese craft with the dynamism of Swiss design. The Castor series, which is exhibited here, is crafted from sustainably sourced Japanese hardwoods while the aesthetic of the Castor chair is based on the ergonomics of traditional Swiss café-style furniture. This cross-cultural collaboration seamlessly blends the unique perspectives of Karimoku’s craftspeople with an international group of designers, presenting new standards in Japanese furniture design.
