KATSURA furniture bathroom collection                                                                               CERSAIE 2023    

A traditional Japanese space created with a wooden pillar-beam structure is partitioned by removable light sliding doors such as Shoji and Fusuma, made by paper-covered wooden frames. The “Katsura Rikyu”, the detached Imperial Palace in Kyoto, is the ultimate Japanese architecture made with such wood and paper partitions. “KATSURA” is a bathroom furniture series inspired by the minimal and essential beauty of this “Katsura Imperial Villa” and incorporating the image of a door made of wood and paper into a modern bathroom. Creates a minimalistic, geometric, but at the same time a warm bathroom ambient.

木の柱梁構造でつくられる日本の伝統的な空間は、木枠に紙を貼った障子や襖といった着脱式の軽い引き戸で間仕切られます。京都の離宮皇居である「桂離宮」は、このような木と紙の間仕切りで作られた究極の日本建築です。”KATSURA”はこの「桂離宮」のミニマルでエッセンシャルな美にインスピレーションを受け、木と紙でできた戸のイメージを現代のバスルームで表現したバスルームファニチャーです。ミニマルでジオメトリックでありながら同時に温かみのあるバス空間を演出します
