kimu design studio

The direction KIMU Design keep trying and experimenting to reach. Started from The New Old Light, we're keep discovering and discussing the new soul from the old living objects. To live as the past retro life is not our goal actually, what we are looking for is how to preserve those, being spread widely worth, classic objects. While we were embracing the tradition, we've also brought the contemporary value into our design concept, which focused on combining simple objects with new life style, The New Old Life.

In The New Old Life, we may reserve nature in our living style, inherit the traditional spirit and discover the trace of calm through the cultural collision of society. KIMU Design will keep discovering and combining those new and old objects and transferring them to be one of our living products. The New Old Life, actually, is also a question about the contemporary society for KIMU......

The new old life: working with nature
In 2014, we've just found the most important partner to cooperate with in The New Old Life: Nature.
We've proposed another possibility of lighting and a different combination and imagination of flowers.
Re-search the cooperation of nature and human, The New Old Life: Let’s embrace with nature and create another quiet strength.

Based in Taiwan, uphold the fresh taste of Taiwan.
KIMU introduces design into our environment by the most simple and natural ways.
They believe that design exists in close proximity with humanity.
