Chapter 1

A b out Us The new Asian aesthetics.

KIMU design is constantly inspired by our Asian cultural heritages, philosophy and lifestyle. We aspire to reshape our heritage with western aesthetics of our time in order to create cultural balance within our design objects. We are inviting you together with us to rediscover conventional everyday ordinary and turn it into extraordinary.

It is the contrasting peaceful and dynamic qualities of The New Old Light that sets KIMU onto its journey of discovering new soul in old living objects. The traditional form and function of an oriental paper lantern meets with western design aesthetics and transforms itself into a beautiful new shape for modern lifestyle. The deconstruction and reinterpretation of a cultural imagery can also be seen on The New Old Vase when it disassociates itself from having an inherent volume, leaving only a linear structure that blurs the distinct personalities between the East and West.

Based in Helsinki and Taipei, KIMU gathers the strengths from both Eastern and Western lifestyle. Committed with design with the natural, simple but ingenuous design style, you may notice the underlying story and those quietly and carefully crafted details at the moment of using it.

Chapter 1

Ab out Us Functional minimalist, we design timeless yet playful everyday objects.

Besides being poetic in bridging conflicting elements, KIMU’s works also leave plenty of rooms for the user’s imagination and interaction with their playful set-ups. By varying its convertible screen, The New Old Divider can create different spatial experiences and make surprising statements. More or less, up or down, in or out…while a KIMU product always preserves a quiet strength in its appearance, it is also characteristic in desiring conversation with its partnering space, nature, and people. Even though the creative balance of form and function is essential, the completion of every KIMU product is found only when it is being used and loved in everyday life.

Observations

KIMU comes from Formosa, an island experienced the influences of Japan, China and The Netherlands. This multicultural exposure leverages an eastern design full of diversity and varied imaginations.
