Ariake
Named after the Ariake Sea in Southern Japan, Ariake means daybreak in Japanese, and symbolizes a new chapter for two furniture companies as they embark on this collaboration with international designers for the global market.
Consisting of 30 pieces, the first Ariake collection is crafted with the best of hand and machine following typical Japanese production-processes.
Each piece is crafted in Morodomi, with furniture designs by Anderssen & Voll, Gabriel Tan, Keiji Ashizawa, Norm Architects, Shin Azumi, Staffan Holm, Zoe Mowat, Studio MK27
The creation of the Ariake brand and furniture designs were done over two intensive workshops in Morodomi where furniture designers, art director, photographer and craftsmen did the same – they lived, worded and ate together over.
Despite language barriers, the designers and craftsmen generated a collective energy and mutual trust that helped define the soul of the brand. This resulted in a collection of furniture that utilizes the best of hand and machine, inspired by the spirituality of Japanese culture and urban living contexts
