Keep ShoppingCABINE Mirror
Design by:Inga Sempé
Brand:
Ariake
Cabine Mirror is designed by Inga Sempé and is both a full length mirror and a coat stand. The double mirrors reflecting in two directions increase the volume of the room in which it is put. In French, Cabine is the name of the place where one tries on clothes in a clothing store, and also the name of rooms in boats and trains. This piece of furniture is like a tiny house, behind it people can dress or undress, and organise one‘s clothes and belongings; outside it people can look at one‘s reflection. While this product is highly functional, it also reflects Japanese cultural values like the importance of keeping one‘s home tidy and presenting one‘s best to the world.

About Ariake
Ariake is a furniture brand founded by Legnatec and Hirata Chair, two factories from the furniture producing town of Morodomi in Saga prefecture, Japan. Named after the Ariake Sea in Southern Japan, Ariake means daybreak in Japanese. It symbolizes a new chapter for the two factories as they embark on a collaboration with international designers for the global market. It is our belief that strong working relationships are the foundation of good products. Furniture is made for social situations where people live, work and eat together. The creation of the Ariake brand and furniture designs were done over two intensive workshops in Morodomi where furniture designers, art director, photographer and craftsmen did the same – we lived, worked and ate together over. Despite language barriers, the designers and craftsmen generated a collective energy and mutual trust that helped define the soul of the brand. This resulted in a collection of furniture that utilizes the best of hand and machine, inspired by the spirituality of Japanese culture and urban living contexts. We present to you a 30-piece collection made from oak, ash, hinoki, cedar, leather, paper cord, cotton canvas, upholstery and unique finishes such as sumi and indigo dye. Each piece is crafted in Morodomi, with furniture designs by Anderssen & Voll, Gabriel Tan, Keiji Ashizawa, Norm Architects, Note Design Studio, Shin Azumi, Staffan Holm, Zoe Mowat, Studio MK27, Photography Sebastian Stadler, Art Direction by AnnerPerrin.
