JK Armchair

Jin Kuramoto, born in 1976, established "JINKURAMOTO STUDIO" in Tokyo in 2008 after working as a product designer for a major electronics manufacturer for about 10 years. He is good at expressig the concept or story of a product in its design clearly, working in the wide variety of projects such as electronics, eye wears, and cars both domestically and internationally. His design style is always experimental. Until ideas are shaped in his mind, he always keeps on touching material phisicaly and making a lot of trials and errors in his studio that is full of inspiration.

Hoshina

Founded in 1969, Hoshina was created by a maker who learned the art of modern furniture and comfortable living in Italy, then brought that sensibility home to Japan. Based in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, the brand blends Italian elegance with Japanese craftsmanship - a heritage you can read in pieces like the VENDOME, BLANCHE and MILAN.

Hoshina's philosophy puts people first: furniture is the supporting role that lets a home and its owner shine. Each piece is simply and durably designed - made to be maintained and repaired decades later and passed down through generations - spanning lounge chairs, modular sofas, dining chairs and coffee tables.
