Karimoku New Standard (KNS) is a contemporary design brand redefining Japanese furniture through sustainability, innovation, and bold creative expression. Launched by heritage manufacturer Karimoku, KNS challenges conventions by using small-diameter, fast-growing Japanese hardwoods—responsibly harvested and expertly crafted into forward-thinking pieces.
The brand works with a global network of leading designers and studios such as Christian Haas, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, and Scholten & Baijings, resulting in a collection that is youthful, graphic, and globally inspired, yet grounded in the precision of Japanese joinery and material intelligence.
Now part of our curated collection in Vancouver and across the West Coast of Canada, Karimoku New Standard offers a vibrant, sustainable choice for residential and commercial spaces. Perfect for clients who value design-forward furniture with environmental integrity and a story to tell.
