KIMU also invests in material experimentation and production innovation, contributing to the growth and evolution of the lighting industry.
In its work, Kimu embarks on a journey through the cultural landscapes of East Asia, much like archaeologists and travelers, tracing threads of history. These threads are woven together to create new objects that echo the essence and silhouette of East Asia, transforming each yesterday into living artifacts of tomorrow. Kimu places great value on natural materials, craftsmanship, and the interaction between users and objects. Guided by a passion for ideal living, the Kimu collection seamlessly blends poetic and practical aesthetics.
