CW, an abbreviation for ‘combination wood’, is a series that reflects the designers’ ambition to redefine the use of Japanese woods in furniture and objects.
CW 01, 02 and 03 can be used as object displays, sidetables or stools. Inspiration came from humble Japanese daily life, but the designers wanted the pieces to be free of stereotypes; contrasting contemporary polished aluminium with traditional Japanese wood.
Crafted with Hinoki wood, a type of Japanese cypress that has long been used in Japan for its beauty, durability and delicate, natural fragrance.
YOSHIYUKI AND JUNKO HORIBE
Husband and wife team Yoshiyuki and Junko Horibe create their beautiful designs in their workshop, a renovated old Japanese house in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan.
Their work redefines time honoured Japanese design, taking traditional timbers and craftsmanship into a fresh new direction, open to the influence of international design. The timber they select not only has unique aesthetic qualities and fragrances but also benefits such as emitting compounds that have a relaxing effect.
They emphasise functionality in their work, carefully selecting and combining finishes and materials to create their designs.
