JC23 CONDE HOUSE [wooden furniture] × Raw-Edges

Hokkaido is home to some beautiful forests. It might be natural that Asahikawa has vibrant timber-related industries, given its location next to such a high-quality resource. However, the path to “Asahikawa furniture” becoming a globally trusted product of this city was not simply a result of location. It is also a result of passion: the passion for learning the techniques from one generation to the next, for harnessing the latest machinery, and for pursuing the best design, and such passions have continuously stoked the industry. One of the furniture manufacturers that had a hand in creating this spirit is Conde House. Raw-Edges witnessed a factory that produces beautiful furniture with the least possible wastage of such a rich wood heritage and applies its mastery of the handcraft and the latest in machine processing. They explore the new forms of expression that are possible today, taking details from the respective design approaches by Conde House. This furniture series celebrating the idea of two different parts joining together in one piece features gentle shapes and contrasting wood finishing. This is a quiet release of fresh blood into the Conde House range, but the pieces are sure to feel quite familiar.
