Following the instant success of our Wind room dividers, Jin Kuramoto has designed a new side table with his same trademark irregular, organic shapes. The table was commissioned exclusively for the new Zander K hotel in Bergen, Norway, with interiors by architects Claesson Koivisto Rune. The table comes in two heights, manufactured in a monochrome, stone-resembling material.
Jin Kuramoto’s Wind room divider is an innovative concept for controlling acoustics in public spaces and meeting venues, a market which Offecct has pioneered. The dividers improve the acoustic qualities of an environment, while at the same time adding interesting dimensions to the room.
Feather light, super strong and 100 percent biological. Those have been the objectives for a long research and development project by one of Japan’s most accomplished young designers, Jin Kuramoto, and Offecct. The result, Jin, is a chair with the potential to bring about radical change in the way we make furniture.
The Jin chair garnered a great deal of attention when it, as a prototype under development in Offecct Lab, was exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2017. Now it is part of Offecct's range presented in biobased Flax Fibre, and an upholstered version is being planned 2018.
