Spec Sheet

Description

Sofa Island serves as a backless, armless extension of the Elephant modular seating collection. Designer Christian Haas' deeply cushioned concept is built on firm but pliant padding with a durable pocket-spring core and then topped with premium foam. The high-performance upholstery fabric is actually made from recycled synthetics that have a pleasingly wooly texture. A visible frame in sustainably grown solid Japanese chestnut balances out the look.

Brand

Karimoku New Standard

A traditional Japanese maker of wood furniture for 70-odd years, Karimoku turned an exciting new page when it relaunched in 2009 with an international roster of contributing designers as Karimoku New Standard. The reboot was twofold—to create modern pieces using its heritage of Japanese craftsmanship techniques and to revitalize native forests by targeting significantly undervalued hardwoods. That precious resource, from low-diameter chestnut, maple and oak trees, had previously ended up mostly as wood chips for paper pulp.

Meanwhile, the design world was gobsmacked by the company’s splendidly functional, often joyously colored furnishings emanating from its collaborating partners. From European, Scandinavian and Japanese creative talents, they include Swedish studio TAF, the Swiss team Big-Game and cult Dutch design duo Scholten & Baijings. The revived Karimoku concept, termed “high-tech and high-touch” by brand creative director David Glaettli, melds the latest technology with unstinting hand-finishing for a truly collectable array of refreshingly unique standouts.
