Our Outline Bar Stool, showcased in the beautiful Tokyo-based Kufuku restaurant designed by @keijiashizawadesign. The stool holds references to Japanese as well as Scandinavian furniture and is the result of an on-site work-process, built in collaboration with the craftsmen, combining elements from different pieces in the Ariake factory. Its delicate proportions and friendly shape makes it “Kawaii” (Cute) and functional in both hospitality and private use. The seat and back are made from plywood whereas the legs are made from solid wood and the chair comes in a version with a fine leather seat combined with an upholstered back in Japanese textile.

Repetition and patterns often have a calming and relaxing effect on us - We have designed the bespoke Wall Shelves for the Azabu Residence with this in mind. A simple, yet elegant modular system with the possibility to extend the shelves infinitely.

“We have strived to create a minimal product that has a sculptural, warm and architectural expression — it should be functional and beautiful,
whether few or many items are on display.” — @frederikwerner, Norm Architects.

Enclose is composed of clean lines and carefully selected details. Inspired by nature, the wingback chair is shown upholstered in green Barnum and resting on a stained oak base, becoming an inviting oasis of calm relaxation. Both shells are individually upholstered, making it possible to change the look over time if you so desire. Complimented by the Embody stool, it's the perfect spot for a weekend perch.

Designed with a beautiful built-in kitchen of minimalistic timber panelling, the Fjord Boat House is the perfect blend of Scandinavian and Japanese design. Quality materials, elegant form and textured finishes fill the space, creating a sense of subtle luxury within the cabin - a beautiful contrast to the raw brick floors by @petersentegl and natural surroundings. The washi-paper pendant are part of the recently designed collection for the Archipelago House, produced by @karimokucasestudy and @kojima_shouten. Architect of Records: @arkitema.

Located on Ny Østergade in old town Copenhagen, the Dulong jewelry flagship store features an open-plan layout broken only by a few existing cast-iron columns. An interpretation of the brands existing identity, the interior design concept is both exclusive and timeless. @dulongfinejewelry Photography by @jonasbjerrepoulsen. #normarchitects #softminimalism

Our Co Lounge Chair is a lightweight lounger with exceptional sitting comfort. Inspired by classic designs that combine metalwork and woodwork to iconic effect, the new iteration purposefully re-spaces its different components to create a lighter, more laid-back look than its dining predecessor. The comfortable design enhances interior spaces rather than demanding attention in a room. The form-pressed wood veneer backrest is angled for comfort and the curved armrests and upholstered seat support and embrace the body. Designed for @menuspace. #normarchitects #softminimalism

In 2019 we completed the interior renovations of the Kinuta Terrace Apartments in collaboration with @keijiashizawadesign, creating, amongst a series of interior elements, 12 tailormade furniture pieces that make up the first collection of Karimoku Case Study. The Kinuta Collection has its native setting in two of the 36 Kinuta Terrace apartments located in the Kinuta ward of the Setagaya district in Tokyo. Kinuta Terrace was originally built in the 1980s with an integrated courtyard, giving residents the advantages of a single-family home. #normarchitects #softminimalism

Work In Progress: The moodboard represents an important part of our creative process. As we are firm believers in a natural material and colour palette, and celebrate the tactile and haptic qualities of the buildings, spaces and furniture-pieces we design, piecing together a material collection gives us the ability to align on our vision of atmosphere and aesthetics with clients from an early stage. Beautiful materials spark the imagination and let the mind wander, without giving too much away, spoiling the magic. Commercial client, Tel Aviv, 2021.

Though perfectly suited as a lamp, MILK adds more than light to your home. MILK can be placed anywhere and lights up both body and soul and lets the mind drift off to the Zen of a Japanese Onsen. Designed for @andtradition. #normarchitects #softminimalism

The Vaults represent the simplicity and beauty of the architectural detail as individual archetypes. The sculptures are tactile pieces that spark a sense of respect and fascination of the solid stone from which it is made. Vault is made from two different materials: classic Roman Travertine and Moleanos Limestone from Portugal. Each piece has a personal identity and shape and their natural beautiful imperfections make them unique as individual, stand-alone art pieces.

Originally designed to complement the Enclose armchair, but with an identity strong enough to warrant a life of its own, the oak base of the Embody stool rises to meet the soft seat cushion upholstered in textile or leather. Embody can be used as a food stool or an extra seat. Designed for @fogiacollection. #normarchitects #softminimalism

The main living space of the Archipelago House is a double-high room divided in the middle by a large industrial kitchen island.

The design of the house is aimed at combining the functionality for the perfect family life with an architecture of clean lines, light rooms and bright colors as a perfect refuge from the hectic life of the city.

“Our Reprise Chair is a great example of our collaboration process with @lercolanidesign. To create this piece, we combined Ercol’s traditional woodturning and steam bending techniques with a classic Danish design from the ‘50s. The chair’s legs are held in place with a singular, steam-bent piece of wood, paying homage to an Ercol tradition stretching back to 1944. The end result is a graceful, well-constructed chair with spindles for the legs and backrest." - @Frederikwerner

In late-2018 we completed the K House, an exclusive villa resort in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. The secluded beach front property constitutes the perfect sanctuary for the body and mind, surrounded by lush greenery and breath-taking views, with the architecture effortlessly blending in to the surrounding nature with large openings, soft transitions and natural materials. Completed in collaboration with @aimarchitecture. #normarchitects #softminimalism

Mastering the fine balance between creating a design that fits seamlessly into a space while retaining a sense of character that makes it stand out, Eave Banquette is a lasting piece of design crafted to the highest standards. Creating a welcoming fusion of sofa and bench to bring a homely aesthetic to new territories, the functional new design is set on slender metal legs for a light expression and easy access to the floor for cleaning.

Combined by elements of traditional Danish cabinet

Combined by elements of traditional Danish cabinetmakers’ furniture – with subtle references to icons such as Børge Mogensen, Hans Bølling and Finn Juhl –, as well as patterns found in classic bamboo constructions and tatami mats, the braid sofas and chair are intended for a lounge-like environment. Their strict architectural structure, with paper braided armrests, makes them ideal both as free-standing furniture, as well as simply placed against a wall. The warm hues and natural nuances found in traditional Japanese architecture are mimicked in a well-balanced mix of wood, textile and paper cord in different tones and nuances.

Crafted with careful consideration for function and beauty and perfectly attuned to your everyday needs, the Column Table Lamp is inspired by the bollards used to secure vessels to a jetty. It combines technology and mood-setting style in a striking mushroom shape with modern edge and a natural feel. The cylindrical anodised aluminium light with a bronze finish is fully portable thanks to its cordless design that charges via a USB socket. Designed for @menuspace.

The new Club Chair N-CC01 is designed for the Archipelago House for @karimokucasestudy.
The curved, upholstered back allows free movement and ensures great comfort while the small overhang of the back and armrests make it easy to move the chair around. The back is kept in wood which adds a crisp, exclusive feel to the chair and gives a crafted expression.
