What We Do
LICHEN
Lichen, co-founded by Ed Be and Jared Blake in 2017, is a design incubator and studio centered around furniture, spatial design, and the discovery of how we interact with these elements--past and present.
KARIMOKU FURNITURE
The origins of Karimoku Furniture date back to 1940, when Shohei Kato took over a longstanding timber company and established a small woodworking shop in the town of Kariya, Aichi. The company produced various wooden parts in the ensuing decades, developing a range of techniques before launching its own line of wooden furniture in the 1960s. Building upon the concept of manufacturing high-tech and high-touch products, the company established bases in timber production areas and soon developed into one of Japan’s leading manufacturers of wooden furniture.
