Consisting of tables, storage, and seating made from white oak, sumi dyed ash, indigo dyed ash, hinoki, and burnt cedar, Ariake Collection is made using a combination of advanced CNC machines and detailed craftsmanship. The new brand brings together designers from different countries with a common respect for Japanese culture and woodworking.
The roster currently includes Anderssen & Voll of Norway, Keiji Ashizawa of Japan, Staffan Holm of Sweden, and Gabriel Tan of Singapore. They have designed an extensive 18-piece furniture collection during a one-week workshop in Morodomi.
