BITMAP

This sofa is made up of blocks of different sizes connected by a single edge, creating a unique appearance. The top surface can be used as a simple table, armrest, backrest, or even as a seat. Although it is a single module, by combining and arranging the blocks in an intersecting pattern, it allows for communication in any direction, including parallel, face-to-face, and diagonal.

Support Stool S

The Support Stool S is a stool developed to enhance safety and productivity in hospitals. Based on the experience gained from its predecessor, which was used for over 20 years, it provides physical and psychological support to enable nurses to perform their duties accurately in the confined environment of a hospital. Furthermore, it possesses the interior design qualities required for modern medical spaces, giving patients and staff a sense of security and motivation. It reduces human error, alleviates stress, and improves morale, and is characterized by its balance of functionality and spatial value, as expected from an office furniture manufacturer.

Crossa WOOD

This wooden chair, designed for work environments, boasts the silhouette of a dining chair while being foldable, self-standing, and nestable for storage. The back and seat are made of solid chestnut wood, a domestic hardwood. Chestnut wood is relatively light and strong compared to other woods, making it well-suited for furniture where mobility is required, resulting in a product weight of just 5.2 kg, making it easy to carry. Thanks to Karimoku Furniture's expertise, a beautiful finish has been applied that brings out the bright color of the chestnut wood, adding further richness to its timeless form.
