Design: Norm Architects
The Karimoku Case N-DC01 dining chair was born out of the exploration by Norm Architects around Karimoku’s many factories, workshopping on sight with the craftsmen, using existing parts and updating others, until a hybrid between the Japanese and Scandinavian design aesthetic emerged. The result is a classic chair, simple in its design and composition, but with a warm and welcoming feel to it.
Karimoku Case’s N-DC01 dining armchair’s classically timeless form was shaped through hands-on craftsmanship – testing, refining, and reworking each element until everything fell perfectly into place. The result brings together the best of Japanese and Scandinavian design, fitting effortlessly into a home kitchen, living room, restaurant, or hotel lobby. In short, the elegantly understated N-DC01 chair feels at home almost anywhere.
In this version of the N-DC01 chair, the oak frame is paired with a seat upholstered in a wool blend. The fabric’s natural tones create a pleasing contrast with the warmth of the oak. The armchair is designed by Danish design studio Norm Architects.
