Concept

CH 01 concept marks the start of a collaboration between sanwacompany and KNS, a Japanese furniture brand offering sustainable and innovative wooden furniture to be lifelong companions.
CH 01 brings together sanwacompany’s experience with compact kitchen modules and Karimoku’s extensive woodworking knowledge. The kitchen unit has been conceived as a hybrid that merges a functional kitchen unit with a wooden sideboard, resulting in a new typology that allows for unexpected interior layouts.
The design draws inspiration from the grid structures found in modernist architecture, which have been translated into the distinctive three-dimensional vertical and horizontal profiles.The kitchen unit is complemented by matching wall-mounted shelves made from the same Japanese oak as the kitchen.
