Karimoku Commons Kyoto
Commons Lounge — Wood, Browsing, Photography
Group exhibition presented at Karimoku Commons Kyoto in collaboration with KG+, the satellite event of KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival.
The exhibition brings together six artists from the KG+ 2026 program whose work resonates with the philosophy of Karimoku. In a lounge-like setting surrounded by artworks and photobooks, visitors can experience photography while interacting with furniture designed for the space.
For this exhibition, original frames have been co-developed together with KG+. Made from the same wood used in Karimoku furniture, the frames are designed to combine artwork protection, storage, and aesthetics.

behind the scenes
Animation inspired by Moritz Schlatter’s collection for Karimoku New Standard
My idea was to take shapes that already exist in the collection and see how they behave once they start to move.
