The low height enhances the size of the space. Simple, yet multi-functional, the armrest can be used as a pillow, making it a daybed.

KINUTA SHELVES (N-SS01) seen here at the Azabu 2 Residence by @keijiashizawadesign - along with A-DT02 dining table and A-DC01 dining chair for Karimoku Case Study. Inspired by the umbrella- and shoe racks by the entrance of Japanese temples and Shrines, similar construction techniques were used to create the shelving system with inherent functionalities, such as removable shelves and bookends that aren’t visible at first sight. The shelving system is a customizable piece of furniture in solid wood that serves the needs of its owner in an understated way. 📷 by @kentomoooo https://www.instagram.com/p/CpexHCCv4Kg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
