Project Title
Gingko Collection
Our inspiration
Partly inspired by the leaves of the grand ginkgo tree in Hida Takayama that is over 1,200 years old, the Ginkgo Collection features a distinctive 3-sided shape that forms products for dining, living and working. Not only does the comfortable, ergonomic three-legged chair use less material, the design also allows several chairs to fit neatly around a table making it ideal for small restaurants and compact homes.
Sustainability through timber selection
The collection takes a sustainable approach to furniture construction, utilising production offcuts of premium oak that provide an individual and attractive pattern unique to each piece. This allows waste wood that would otherwise go neglected, a sustainable use
