The Private collection is an exercise in purity, symmetry, balance and restraint. Subtly refined, Private furniture combines purity and elegance. This furniture reflects the culture of Japanese design where form must meet function without decorative, unnecessary or superfluous additions. A sensitivity that’s also expressed in the choice of materials (rigorously selected oak veneer), through a keen eye for detail and the influence of craftsmanship. The simplicity of form emphasises the prowess of traditional cabinetmaking. Private uses artisan techniques, such as grain-matched veneers to ensure a perfectly even surface. Private uses the art of Japanese joints. This thousand-year-old art of Japanese carpenters consists of assembling the different pieces of wood without glue or nails, by simple interlocking. Private furniture is all supported by two large vertical panels connected by a horizontal wooden beam. This feat of structural engineering elevates each part, and allows it to support enormous weight, while still giving a feeling of lightness. These solid, timeless pieces of furniture are made to last. Space Copenhagen: “For the Private collection, we took inspiration from the beauty of vintage Japanese storage furniture. The defining detail for each piece is a Japanese wood joint. We went for a simple, strong, recognisable language, focused on high quality, beautiful materials and refined, elegant details. ‘’
